Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent condition affecting over 40% of Americans.
  • Symptoms include heartburn and reflux, often exacerbated by specific postures and dietary factors.

Observation:

  • Lifestyle modifications and medications are initial management strategies for GERD.
  • Persistent symptoms or intolerance to medication may necessitate surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is presented as an outpatient procedure for GERD.
  • This minimally invasive approach significantly reduces hospital stay compared to open surgery.
  • Recurrent heartburn incidence is less than 2% after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.

Implications:
