Sumario:BACKGROUND: Dumping syndrome is a recognized complication of various gastric surgical procedures, such as vagotomy, pyloroplasty, and gastrojejunostomy. However, it has not to date been reported following laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in adults. CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 34-year-old woman who developed late dumping syndrome following an uneventful laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease. CONCLUSION: This condition should be considered in patients who develop hypoglycemic symptoms following laparoscopic fundoplication.
