Abstract
The incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasing in Asia. The majority of the patients are treated by long-term usage of proton pump inhibitors (PPI). Anti-reflux surgery had been considered as an equivalent alterative to long-term PPI. However, few studies have investigated the performance of anti-reflux surgery for the treatment of GERD in Asia. In this chapter, we review the current evidence and application of anti-reflux surgery for the treatment of GERD in Asia.
