Reflux Recurrence After Laparoscopic Fundoplication for Nonerosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
This cohort study of patients who underwent primary laparoscopic fundoplication suggests that the risk of reflux recurrence was similar among patients with nonerosive GERD and those with erosive GERD. This finding is in contrast with evidence showing that nonerosive GERD responds less well to antireflux medication. Thus, the absence of erosive GERD detected by an upper endoscopy may not be used as an argument for abstaining from antireflux surgery.
