| Abstract;Treatment for GERD is generally based on a conservative approach mainly of PPI along with a correction of bad habits as already reported worldwide. However, surgery still remains a treatment for resistant cases, such as cases accompanied by a large hiatal hernia or respiratory complications. However, the concept of surgery for GERD is different from ordinary one, of which purpose is to remove legions. The surgery for GERD is to improve function not to remove. This concept makes surgeon feel difficult to perform the surgery. The same standard operation cannot be easily applied to every case, but every case must obtain an improved result after the repair of the reflux inhibitory function. The indications for the operations, as well as the choice of the appropriate operative procedure judging from the general condition of each patient, are the key points for surgical treatment. At the same time an effort to improve one's technical skill as a surgeon is also required. (author abst.) |
