Abstract
Laparoscopic fundoplication is indicated for the treatment of objectively documented, relatively severe, gastroesophageal reflux disease. Care in patient selection and preoperative evaluation are essential for good results. Patients with gastroesophageal reflux and any of the following may be considered candidates for the procedure:
-
a.
Erosive esophagitis, stricture, and/or Barrett’s esophagus.
-
b.
Dependence upon proton pump inhibitors for relief of symptoms in the absence of documented mucosal injury (particularly those less than 50 years of age).
-
c.
Atypical or respiratory symptoms with a good response to medical treatment.
-
d.
Risk factors that predict a poor response to medical therapy (Table 16.1).
