Abstract

Study found that, after 5 years, laparoscopic fundoplication gives sustained better relief of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease symptoms than continued medical management, with associated improved health-related quality of life, and that, despite being initially more costly, a surgical policy is highly likely to be cost-effective.
