Three-year clinical experience with magnetic sphincter augmentation and laparoscopic fundoplication.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) is a surgical intervention for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) which has been evaluated in numerous studies and has shown beneficial effects. Long-term effectiveness data for MSA as well as laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) in patients with GERD are needed.

Objective

The objective of this study was to evaluate the 3-year outcomes for MSA and LF in patients with GERD.

Methods

This prospective, multi-center, observational registry study evaluated MSA and LF in clinical practice over 3 years (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01624506). Data collection included baseline characteristics, reflux symptoms, medication use, satisfaction and complications. Post-surgical evaluations were collected at yearly intervals.
