Antireflux Surgery for GERD
Esophageal reflux surgery is a specialized treatment for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) whose symptoms remain persistent or troublesome despite appropriate medical treatment, or for selected patients who prefer a surgical approach after a thorough evaluation.
