Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux-related cough (GERC) is an extra-esophageal manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and a common cause of chronic cough. GERC is the most difficult of the chronic cough to diagnose and treat because of its lack of specificity and its multidisciplinary nature. In recent years, research into GERC has led to a consensus on many key issues. The 2021 edition of the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cough (Cough guidelines) provides important guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of GERC. However, the surgical treatment of GERC is not well covered in the Cough guidelines. This article summarizes the surgical treatment of GERC in terms of surgical methods, current situation, indications for operation and curative effects.
