Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Laparoscopic Antireflux Surgery
By Sungsoo Park, Miguel Burch, Joong-Min Park
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain. While GERD can often be managed with lifestyle changes and medication, some individuals may require surgical intervention. This is where “Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Laparoscopic Antireflux Surgery” comes in.
A Comprehensive Resource on GERD and Antireflux Surgery
This book provides a comprehensive resource on GERD and laparoscopic antireflux surgery. It is authored by renowned experts in the field and presents detailed, up-to-date information on the pathogenesis of GERD, diagnostic tests, surgical techniques, postoperative care, management of complications, and emerging surgical options.
The book begins by discussing the latest knowledge on the pathogenesis of GERD, helping readers understand the underlying causes of the condition. It then focuses on the target symptoms of GERD and explains the various diagnostic tests available, providing guidance on their interpretation.
The highlight of the book is the detailed description and illustration of surgical techniques, specifically laparoscopic fundoplication. Fundoplication is a surgical procedure that strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus. The authors provide step-by-step guidance, along with important surgical tips, to help surgeons perform the procedure effectively.
Furthermore, the book covers the postoperative clinical pathway, detailing what patients can expect after surgery and offering guidance on their recovery. It also addresses the management of complications that may arise during or after surgery.
In addition to the core content on GERD and laparoscopic antireflux surgery, the book explores the use of antireflux surgery in specific situations, such as achalasia and paraesophageal hernia. It also discusses the relationship between sleeve gastrectomy, a weight loss procedure, and GERD.
For those interested in newer surgical options, the book provides guidance on magnetic sphincter augmentation using the LINX Reflux Management System. This innovative procedure offers an alternative to traditional antireflux surgery.
