Please perform a search on this topic:Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may be indicated for treatment by anti-reflux surgery. However, antireflux surgery is not a procedure without morbidities and failure. Some authors advocate revisional surgery for the treatment of the recurrent disease. However, others advocate medical treatment only as the failure rate is higher with re-surgery.
