Surgical outcome in gastro-esophageal reflux disease patients with inadequate response to proton pump inhibitors
Abstract
Laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) has been shown to be effective in treatment of patients with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) requiring long-term medical therapy. Its effectiveness in patients with poor response to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been questioned.
