Background: The aim of this study was to define factors that limit a short period of convalescence and to characterize the pain experienced after laparoscopic fundoplication.Methods: This prospective study included 60 consecutive patients who underwent uncomplicated laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Patients were recommended to convalesce for 2 days after operation. Duration of convalescence, dysphagia, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and different pain components were registered daily during the first week and on days 10 and 30 after fundoplication.Results: Thirty-nine patients took a median of 13 (range 3-41) days off work and 60 stayed away from recreational activity for a median of 4 (range 1-22) days. Pain, fatigue and plans made before operation were the main contributors to prolonged convalescence. Some 30-40 per cent of the patients reported moderate or severe dysphagia during the study period. Fatigue scores were significantly increased for 6 days after surgery (P
