Antireflux surgery has become a well-established therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its complications. The popularization of minimally invasive surgical techniques has brought about a revolution in the use of fundoplication for the long-term management of GERD. A reliable and objective understanding of the outcomes following fundoplication is important for all physicians treating GERD, so that informed decisions can be made regarding the optimal treatment strategy for a given patient. With ongoing study, the appropriate indications for surgical intervention among the array of potential antireflux therapies will continue to be elucidated.
