Laparoscopic RefluxStop Surgery Shows Major Symptom Relief

This study highlights the effectiveness of the RefluxStop procedure for severe GERD, demonstrating significant symptom resolution.

• Median GERD-HRQL score improved by 97.6%, dropping from 42.5 to 1.0 within 12 months.
• PPI use plummeted from 94.8% to just 5.2% at one year.

Surgeons can confidently offer this approach, even to patients with complex conditions, as only 2% required revision surgery.
