Management of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophageal or gastric dysmotility

Appropriate treatment of either condition remains controversial but almost certainly affects the patient’s long-term success and risk of side effects or morbidity. The best esophageal surgeons will take all aspects of the patient’s physiology into account when counseling them preoperatively and while performing antireflux procedures.
