Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

Controversies in Surgery

Abstract

Since its introduction to the United States in 1991, laparoscopic antireflux surgery (LARS) has created renewed interest in the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acceptance of the reliability of the laparoscopic procedure combined with the attraction to both patients and physicians of shorter recovery and hospital stay and decreased pain has led to a dramatic increase in the numbers of these procedures being performed. We will discuss controversies in indications for surgery, necessary preoperative work-up and technical aspects of antireflux surgery.
