Medical versus surgical management for gastrooesophageal reflux disease (GORD) in adults
Wileman SM et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2010 Mar 17;(3):CD003243
• A total of 173 titles and/or abstracts were read independently by the authors.
• Of these, 12 potential papers for full critical appraisal were obtained. The papers
reported data at multiple timepoints from four clinical trials:
One study in 11 European
countries (LOTUS Trial 2008)
Two multicentric studies in
the UK (Mahon 2005;
REFLUX Trial 2008)
The remaining study in a single centre in Canada (Anvari 2006)
• Sample sizes ranged from 104 to 554 participants, with a total of 1232 randomised
participants.

Methodology
• A total of 293 graded articles relevant to this guideline were
reviewed.
• Randomized
controlled trials, metaanalyses, and systematic
reviews were selected for further review, along withprospective
and retrospective studies that included at least 50 patients.
• Studies with smaller samples were considered when additional
evidence was lacking. The most recent reviews were also
included.
• All
case reports, older reviews, and smaller studies were
excluded.
Surg Endosc 2010; 24:2647–2669
INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY
Surgical therapy should be considered in
individuals who:
• Have failed medical management (inadequate symptom control,
severe regurgitation not controlled with acid suppression, or
medication side-effects)
OR
•Opt for surgery despite successful medical management (due to
quality-of-life considerations, lifelong need for medication intake,
expense of medications, etc.)
OR
• Have complications of GERD (e.g., Barrett’s esophagus,peptic
stricture)
OR
• Have extra-esophageal manifestations (asthma, hoarseness,
cough, chest pain, aspiration) .
Indications and Techniques for the Surgical Treatment of GERD
Indications for Surgical Therapy in GERD
• Pts non responders to medical therapy.
• Pts not compliant with long term medical therapy.
• Pts requiring high dosages of drugs.
• Pts too young for a lifetime medical treatment.

L’Esofago Corto nella MRGE
Cause della controversia
• La
posizione intratoracica della GEG nello studio
preoperatorio (Radiologia – Endoscopia) ha significato
fisiopatologico e predittivo , ma non sempre
corrisponde ad un vero esofago corto.
• Può essere difficile individuare intraoperatoriamente
la GEG e la sua posizione rispetto allo hiatus
diaframmatico.

GERD Surgery and Short Esophagus
• Not the Sliding Hiatus Hernia but the Permanent Axial Orad
Migration of the gastroesophageal junction above the hiatus is
correlated with severity of GERD.
• In 80% of cases the intrathoracic migration of the
gastroesophageal junction is associated with esophagitis ≥ Los
Angeles A.
•The existence of a common cavity correlated with an
irreversible anatomic abnormality is preface to surgical therapy

Recommendations
• Surgical therapy for GERD is an equally effective alternative to medical
therapy and should be offered to appropriately selected patients by
appropriately skilled surgeons (grade A).
• Surgical therapy effectively addresses the mechanical issues associated
with the disease and results in long-term patient satisfaction (grade A).
• Based
on the available evidence that is of high quality (level I),
laparoscopic fundoplication should be preferred over its open
alternative as it is associated with superior early outcomes (shorter hospital
stay and return to normal activities, and fewer complications) and no
significant differences in late outcomes (failure rates) (grade A).
Surgical approach for severe complications of GERD
Short Esophagus does require dedicated surgical procedures .
20-33% of failures of antireflux surgery are caused by
misdiagnosing a condition of foreshortened esophagus (Siewert
1989, Jobe 1998).

Recommendations
• While atypical symptoms improve in a majority of patients after antireflux
surgery, symptom persistence is higher compared with patients with typical
symptoms and surgeons should therefore carefully select and counsel these
patients preoperatively (grade B).
• Patients undergoing laparoscopic antireflux surgery should be counseled
preoperatively about the reported rates of symptom relapse and resumption
of acid-reducing medications (grade A).
