Laparoscopic antireflux surgery in the elderly
2008
Background
Both gastroesophageal reflux and paraesophageal hernias are more common in the elderly, but often these patients are not referred for surgery because of their age. In this study we determined the outcome for laparoscopic antireflux surgery in patients aged 70 years or older, in whom either symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux or a large paraesophageal hernia was the indication for surgery.
