Surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease

Robert B Yates et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

Operative treatment of GERD has become more common since the introduction of LARS. Careful patient selection based on symptoms, response to medical therapy, and preoperative testing will optimize the chances for effective and durable postoperative control of symptoms. Complications of the LARS are rare and generally can be managed without reoperation. When reoperation is necessary for failed antireflux surgery, it should be performed by high-volume gastroesophageal surgeons.

Keywords: Fundoplication; Gastroesophageal reflux disease; Hiatal hernia; Laparoscopic antireflux surgery.
