Abstract
Surgery may be necessary to control gross reflux disease, particularly when anatomical abnormalities underlie the pathophysiology. Treatment is generally less successful when directed at isolated airway reflux and aspiration since the refluxate consists mainly of a gaseous mist which even the tightest ‘wrap’ will not be able to control. When successful however, repeated admissions for recurrent aspiration can be abruptly terminated.
