TI  - Laparoscopic antireflux surgery: how I do it?

AB  - Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects an estimated 20% of the population 
      in the US, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Lifestyle modifications 
      and proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are effective in the majority of patients. 
      However, some patients will become candidates for surgical intervention, because 
      they have partial control of symptoms, do not want to be on long-term medical 
      treatment, or suffer complications related to PPI. In these patients, a properly 
      executed laparoscopic antireflux surgery controls esophageal and extra-esophageal 
      symptoms and avoids life-long medical therapy. Important technical elements 
      should be taken into account during the operation to avoid troublesome side 
      effects and obtain optimal postoperative outcomes.
