Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is commonly used to treat medically refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease. The most frequent severe complications following laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication are pneumothorax, gastroesophageal leak, and splenic injury. Prompt recognition and treatment of complications are important in reducing subsequent morbidity and mortality. This report describes two postoperative complications: (1) delayed diagnosis of a postoperative gastric perforation despite an unrevealing work-up for postoperative fever and abdominal pain; and (2) postoperative pancreatitis following revision of a fundoplication.
