Summary: This study aimed to analyze and compare quality of life outcomes following LARS among patients with and without ineffective esophageal motility. The study found that patients with ineffective esophageal motility may experience lower improvements in dysphagia post-surgery, but still derive benefits in perioperative and quality of life outcomes.

Summary: The study found that elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic antireflux surgery are more likely to experience intraoperative complications, require reoperations, and have longer operative and hospital stay times. However, postoperative quality of life and complication rates are similar among all age groups.

Summary: This study compared the 30-day readmission rate and short-term morbidity after laparoscopic antireflux surgery (LARS) between lung transplant recipients and matched nontransplant controls. The results showed that lung transplant recipients had a higher 30-day readmission rate but similar short-term morbidity compared to the nontransplant controls. The study suggests that LARS after lung transplantation is safe in a large-volume center with expertise in transplant and foregut surgery.

Summary: The expert panel developed 7 conditional recommendations for the treatment of GERD in both adults and children, highlighting the superiority of surgical treatment over medical management in adults. However, there was insufficient evidence to make a recommendation for children. Surgical approaches, including robotic or laparoscopic, and partial or complete fundoplication, were suggested based on shared decision-making and patient values.

Summary: This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using endoscopic and surgical methods. Thirteen recommendations were formulated, including a treatment algorithm and suggestions for future research.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and clinical effectiveness of per-oral endoscopic pyloromyotomy in relieving gastroparesis after lung transplant. The results showed that this procedure can effectively alleviate the symptoms of gastroparesis and also improve gastroesophageal reflux and allograft function.

Summary: In this study, a retrospective review was conducted on patients with extraesophageal symptoms and pathologic reflux who underwent LARS between February 2012 and July 2019. The study included 420 patients with a mean age of 61.7 years and BMI of 28.6 kg/m². Patients reported significant improvements post LARS at a mean follow-up of 18.9 months, with the majority demonstrating complete resolution of symptoms during follow-up surveys.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of resection procedures with different circumferences in patients with treatment-refractory GERD. The results showed that ARMS is an effective treatment for treatment-refractory GERD, and the recommended resection procedure is 2/3 circumference, 1.5 cm wide mucosal resection of the gastric cardia.

Summary: Laparoscopic fundoplication is the standard treatment for medically refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease. While both primary and reoperative fundoplication patients experience improvement in GERD-related symptoms, the degree of improvement is greater in primary patients. Perioperative morbidity rates following reoperative and primary procedures can be similar when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of balloon catheter dilation combined with laparoscopic fundoplication surgery and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients with reflux-induced esophageal strictures. The results showed that the clinical success rate was higher in the balloon dilatation combined with LF group, with fewer dilation sessions required and better outcomes. The incidence of reflux esophagitis was also lower in this group. Therefore, balloon dilatation with concomitant LF is effective and safe for esophageal stricture secondary to GERD.

Summary: Gastroesophageal reflux disease affects a significant portion of the population worldwide. Minimally invasive laparoscopic fundoplication is an effective treatment for selected patients. However, a small percentage of patients may require revisional surgery. Endoscopy plays an important role in evaluating the outcomes of fundoplication surgery.

Summary: Gastroparesis is common after lung transplantation and is associated with worse outcomes, particularly the development of CLAD. Black patients are more likely to be diagnosed with gastroparesis post-transplant. While gastroparesis is linked to CLAD, it does not impact overall mortality.

Summary: In this retrospective study, it was found that smokers and non-smokers who underwent LARS surgery had similar outcomes in terms of symptom resolution, PPI cessation rates, and satisfaction with the surgery.

Summary: The Lyon Consensus 2.0 provides conclusive criteria for diagnosing gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and offers additional metrics to support or refute the diagnosis when primary criteria are inconclusive. A global team evaluated research since the original Lyon Consensus and collaborated on developing statements to update criteria. The updated consensus includes a modern definition of actionable GERD, describes the likelihood of symptoms being related to reflux episodes, and provides diagnostic strategies and testing options based on proven or unproven GERD.

Summary: The study reveals that laparoscopic antireflux surgery has a favorable safety profile in the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease, especially in younger patients without severe comorbidity who undergo surgery at high-volume centers.
