About this book

This volume presents the most recent developments in diagnosis and treatment of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and those who continue to be refractory to conventional GERD therapies. The book delineates the role of newly developed endoscopic therapies in GERD and outlines the best candidates for surgical fundoplication. Topics as the risks associated with GERD, lifestyle modification in GERD and the role of H2RA and proton pump inhibitor therapy in treating reflux disease are also explored.

Written by authorities in the field, Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease is a concise yet comprehensive resource that is useful for primary care providers, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, surgeons and ENT specialists.

Reviews

“This monograph focuses on the recent evidence-based literature about the many ways of diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease as well as the lifestyle modifications and medical, pharmacological, and surgical options for treatment. … This well researched, comprehensive monograph is a valuable read for every clinician treating patients with reflux disease and an absolute necessity for every academic library in a teaching facility.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2015)
