Popis: Surgical fundoplication, the recreation of the lower esophageal sphincter mechanism by wrapping the fundus of the stomach around the gastroesophageal junction, is a well-established treatment option in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease. By decreasing the incidence of both acid and non-acid reflux, fundoplication results in a measureable decrease in symptoms and additional sequela of gastric reflux. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), a compliment of symptoms, resulting from the reflux of gastric contents into the larynx and pharynx, may also benefit from fundoplication. This review of the recent literature will explore the indications, benefits, and response of LPR to surgical fundoplication. Additionally, the use of novel endoscopic techniques for fundoplication will be reviewed.
