What does this research mean for the field?

Optimal surgical management of gastroesophageal reflux disease relies on careful patient selection, objective confirmation of reflux, and tailored procedure choice, with laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication remaining the reference standard alongside emerging alternative technologies. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.SYNTHESIS. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To synthesize contemporary surgical strategies for gastroesophageal reflux disease, emphasizing diagnostic workup, procedure selection, clinical outcomes, and novel antireflux techniques.

Overview

Review demonstrates durable symptom control from antireflux surgery in GERD patients, highlighting tailored procedures to balance symptom relief against postoperative side effects.

Key Points

To synthesize contemporary surgical strategies for gastroesophageal reflux disease, emphasizing diagnostic workup, procedure selection, clinical outcomes, and novel antireflux techniques.
Synthesized evidence evaluating laparoscopic total and partial fundoplication alongside emerging techniques such as magnetic sphincter augmentation.
Reviewed preoperative evaluation standards, including objective reflux confirmation, symptom correlation, and esophageal motility testing.
Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication provides durable symptom control and superior short-term quality of life compared with proton pump inhibitors, but carries risks of dysphagia, gas-bloat syndrome, and wrap failure.
Partial fundoplication mitigates postoperative gas bloat and dysphagia compared to total fundoplication, though it is associated with increased postoperative acid-suppression use.
Magnetic sphincter augmentation offers a less disruptive surgical alternative for selected candidates, while long-term comparative effectiveness data continue to accumulate.
