A Study on the Effectiveness of Laparoscopic Fundoplication on Extraesophageal Manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

April 8, 2011 updated by: General Public Hospital Zell am See
Available data regarding the effectiveness of laparoscopic antireflux surgery on extraesophageal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are scarce and mostly controversial. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical effect of partial and total fundoplication on extraesophageal symptoms in a selected cohort of patients with GERD.
