Current Advances in Diagnosis, Therapeutics, and Surgical Interventions for the Management of Refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): An Update.
Curēus 2024 September
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic illness characterized by complications arising from the reflux of stomach contents, which significantly lower the quality of life, increase morbidity, and increase medical expenses associated with treating the condition. The main goal of treatment in GERD is symptomatic relief, relapse prevention, and healing of erosive esophagitis. The treatment mainly involves lifestyle changes to control acid production and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as the first line of treatment. Endoscopic interventions or anti-reflux surgery may be beneficial in relieving symptoms in people whose symptoms are triggered by reflux. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology and newer diagnostic and treatment modalities including available surgical management options to manage refractory GERD.
