Laparoscopic Fundoplication for Hiatal Hernia Gold Standard for The Management of Intractable Reflux Disease
Abstract
Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition characterized by the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, leading to symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation. Hiatal hernia, where stomach organs protrude through the diaphragm, increases GERD risk by disrupting esophageal acid clearance. The surgical management of GERD has advanced, with laparoscopic fundoplication now the preferred approach for intractable cases due to its minimally invasive nature, durability, and effectiveness in symptom relief. Studies confirm laparoscopic fundoplication as the gold standard for long-term GERD control and prevention of symptom recurrence
