Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is the most prevalent esophageal disease. It is a condition affecting up to 20% of the western world and has a significant negative impact in the patient’s quality of life. The typical symptoms are heartburn and regurgitation, but other clinical presentations can be present. What is GERD, what are the GERD surgery options, and GERD treatment? These are some of the questions that covered during this presentation.

This recording was part of the Controversies in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease presentation held on December 16, 2020, moderated by Jan Tack, University of Leuven (The Netherlands) and Kerry Dunbar, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (USA) (moderator and speaker).
