Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an extremely common disorder. Many patients require lifelong medical therapy for symptom control. In patients being considered for antireflux surgery, thorough evaluation is required. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is a safe and effective method of treating patients who have severe, refractory, or complicated GERD. Excellent long-term results are obtained with minimal morbidity, freeing the patient from the burden of chronic medical therapy.Entities:
