Abstract
The aim of anti reflux surgery is to restore, as closely as possible, a normally functioning hiatal/lower esophageal sphincter complex. This implies the unimpeded passage of swallowed material, while at the same time preventing liquid and solid gastric contents from refluxing into the esophagus, but allowing gas to be vented (belched) if the stomach becomes distended. This chapter documents the procedures which have been used to try and achieve these aims. In reality, anti reflux surgery is very effective at preventing solid and liquid reflux, and usually does not impede the passage of food through the esophagus. However, it is less successful in allowing patients to decompress their stomach through belching.
