Reoperations After Complications or Failure of Antireflux Surgery (original) (raw)

Diseases of the Esophagus, 1988

Abstract

Antireflux operations are widely employed for relief of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) unresponsive to medical treatment. Whatever the adopted surgical technique is, long-term follow-up studies reveal that 10%–15% of patients still complain of symptoms which may or may not be related to the recurrence of GER [1]. Postlethwait [2] reports 9% of poor results after antireflux surgery on 4805 collected cases.
