Guidelines for Surgical Treatment of Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
In view of surgery, GERD is the failure of the antireflux barrier, allowing abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. It is a mechanical disorder, which is caused by a defective lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a gastric emptying disorder, or failed esophageal peristalsis. These abnormalities result in a spectrum of disease ranging from symptoms only, such as "heartburn", to esop...
متن کاملThe Effects of Pantoprazole on the Treatment of Palpitation in Patients with Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A Case Series
Introduction: Atrial arrhythmia is a common complication in patients with gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The treatment of palpitation is relatively problematic in these patients, especially if there is not enough evidence of cardiovascular or systemic diseases. The esophagus is in close proximity to the left atrium posterior wall. Hypothetically, locally released cytokines from esopha...
متن کاملModern GERD treatment: feasibility of minimally invasive esophageal sphincter augmentation.
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common chronic disease requiring adequate treatment since it represents one major cause of development of Barrett's esophagus and eventually carcinoma. Novel laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation for GERD was evaluated prospectively. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 23 patients with GERD underwent minimally invasive implantation of ...
متن کاملGastro-esophageal Reflux Disease
Gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is a physiological phenomenon occurring in every individual.
