Abstract
At this point, we may summarize the novelties presented in the book and suggest their relevance for future developments. The team of outstanding and highly reputed expert authors orchestrated a fascinating spectrum of open-minded chapters pointing out that the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett’s esophagus (BE) should consider the embryological, anatomical, physiological, histological characteristic, and properties of the esophagus during well-being and during disease. As a consequence, these qualities define the requirements, which should be met, and can be met, as we have demonstrated, by modern GERD management.
