Abstract
Operative management for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has evolved into minimally invasive approaches utilizing robotic assisted technologies. Here, we present an overview of robotic assisted operations and outcomes for surgical management of patients with GERD. The specific surgical procedures described here are hiatus hernia repair with and without mesh. Nissen fundoplication a Collis gastroplasty. Additionally, a summary of various pre-operative diagnostic evaluations available for GERD and their relevance in district clinical situations is also provided.
