English
Authors' objectives:
The purpose was to systematically review and update our previous Comparative Effectiveness Review, which compared the effectiveness of different management options for adults with GERD.
Authors' recommendations:
Medical therapy and laparoscopic fundoplication were similarly effective in improving GERD symptoms in patients whose symptoms were already well controlled by medical therapy for at least the first 1 to 3 years following surgery. Serious adverse events were more common after surgery. The effectiveness of endoscopic procedures remains substantially uncertain.
