Description

Surgical Management of GERD provides a comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the modern surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Authored by a diverse and authoritative group of contributors, the book is organized into four sections covering foundational principles, primary anti-reflux procedures, complex and special scenarios, outcomes, technology, and future directions.

By addressing both operative techniques and the underlying physiologic considerations, the volume serves as a practical guide for clinicians and trainees in foregut and esophageal disease, including practicing and academic surgeons, gastroenterologists, advanced endoscopists, residents, and fellows.

Key features

  • Addresses both operative techniques and the underlying physiologic considerations
  • Covers the full continuum of GERD management – from pathophysiology and diagnostics to complex scenarios and emerging technologies
  • Features contributions from a globally diverse team of internationally recognized experts across the United States, Europe, Australia, and South America, ensuring both breadth and authority

Readership

Gastroenterologists and advanced endoscopists, as well as residents and fellows in surgical and endoscopic training
