Surgical Anti-Reflux Options Beyond Fundoplication.
Current Gastroenterology Reports 2017 July
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This paper provides an overview of current and future surgical interventions available for the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) beyond the well established and recognized fundoplication. Review the current indications and outcomes of these surgical procedures.
RECENT FINDINGS: Fundoplication has been a cornerstone of the surgical management of GERD. However, other effective surgical options exist and can be considered based on prior interventions as well as patient, anatomical or other factors. These options are intended to address some of the shortcomings or potential complications of fundoplication such as symptom recurrence, dysphagia, or gas bloating, for example. Alternative procedures to fundoplication include magnetic sphincter augmentation, electrical stimulation and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The indication for surgical management remains failure of or inability to tolerate medical therapy.
