Résumé

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is one of the most common chronic diseases, affecting up to 28% of the western population. Therapeutic management ranges from conservative measures to endoscopic or surgical interventions. Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) still is considered as gold standard, but alternative procedures have been developed and evaluated within the past years. Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA), which aims to be a less disruptive and possibly more standardized laparoscopic procedure than LNF, shows satisfying results regarding short- and long-term follow-up as well as comorbidities. Alternatives, such as the RefluxStop™ procedure or Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), combined with laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair (cTIF) show promising results for short-term follow-up, nevertheless further studies regarding long-term follow-up are necessary. Although there definitely are upcoming and promising trends in upper GI surgery, LNF still represents today's gold standard and MSA is an equivalent alternative. RefluxStop™ and cTIF show promising results, nevertheless, further studies are necessary.

Background UNASSIGNED
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is one of the most common chronic diseases, affecting up to 28% of the western population. Therapeutic management ranges from conservative measures to endoscopic or surgical interventions. Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) still is considered as gold standard, but alternative procedures have been developed and evaluated within the past years.
Summary UNASSIGNED
Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA), which aims to be a less disruptive and possibly more standardized laparoscopic procedure than LNF, shows satisfying results regarding short- and long-term follow-up as well as comorbidities. Alternatives, such as the RefluxStop™ procedure or Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), combined with laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair (cTIF) show promising results for short-term follow-up, nevertheless further studies regarding long-term follow-up are necessary.
Key Message UNASSIGNED
Although there definitely are upcoming and promising trends in upper GI surgery, LNF still represents today's gold standard and MSA is an equivalent alternative. RefluxStop™ and cTIF show promising results, nevertheless, further studies are necessary.
