Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is among the most common dysfunctions of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It interferes with quality of life and is a risk factor for the development of adenocarcinoma in the lower esophagus. Laparoscopic fundoplication is an effective treatment of GERD, but the physiologic mechanisms of the different available procedures had not been investigated to date.
