ABSTRACT
Reflux symptoms are very common, and despite modern medication they are a major cause of disease burden and loss of quality of life worldwide. Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery is the only current effective alternative but suffers from the risks of long-term side effects. Surgery also suffers variation in standards and outcomes. Magnetic augmentation and electrical stimulation of the lower esophageal sphincter represent promising innovative procedures in the field.
