A Study on the Effectiveness of Laparoscopic Fundoplication on Extraesophageal Manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical effect of partial and total fundoplication on extraesophageal symptoms in a selected cohort of patients with GERD.
