Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has emerged as one of the most common diseases in modern civilization. This article reviews selected changes in epidemiology of GERD during the past decade and provides information on treatment options with a focus on the impact of GERD and potential role of laparoscopic antireflux surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus, obesity, liver cirrhosis, at the extremes of life age and in immunocompromised individuals such as liver and lung transplant recipients.
