Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common affliction in Western society. In patients in whom GERD is resistant to medical therapy or who desire nonpharmacological definitive therapy, several surgical interventions are available. The most common and traditional surgical therapy is partial or complete gastric fundoplication; however, new alternatives, including the magnetic augmentation system LINX and EndoStim device, are increasingly common and efficacious.
