Abstract

Antireflux surgery is an effective treatment option for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who respond inadequately to medical therapy, want to avoid lifelong medication use, or have significant complications such as Barrett’s esophagus or stricture due to acid reflux. Antireflux surgery is a commonly performed procedure in the United States. The number of antireflux surgeries increased from 9173 in 1993 to 32,980 in 2000 but steadily declined to 19,668 in 2006, possibly due to the development of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy and the popularity of laparoscopic bariatric surgery (Wang et al. Dis Esophagus. 24:215–23, 2011). According to the National Inpatient Sample database of the United States, 83.1%, 11.6%, and 5.3% of patients underwent antireflux surgery in high-volume centers (>25 operations/year), intermediate-volume hospitals (10–25 operations/year), and low-volume hospitals (<10 operations/year), respectively (Schlottmann et al. World J, Surg. 42:2183–2189, 2018). Of 96,702 elective procedures conducted between 2005 and 2010, 81.6% were laparoscopic fundoplication, and 18.4% were an open procedure (Funk et al. Surg Endosc. 28:1712–9, 2014)
