A comparative study of magnetic sphincter augmentation and Nissen fundoplication in the management of GERD.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) is a novel surgical technique investigated at many clinical institutes worldwide. In 2012, it received approval for treating Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) because of its superior benefits compared to drug therapies. This study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of MSA compared with Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) for GERD treatment.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 40 patients who received preoperative matching features of MSA and LNF. The surgical details and one-year postoperative outcomes were analyzed and reported.
