Long-term efficacy and quality of life after antireflux surgery
A lasting long-term effect of ARS on GERD symptoms was found, although almost a third of patients still experience heartburn and/or regurgitation daily. Almost half of patients were not taking PPIs 5 years after ARS, but 44% became long-term users. Patients should be made aware that long-term PPI therapy often is necessary following ARS.
