| Core Tip |
The current level of evidence performing antireflux surgery in patients with overlapping symptoms such as dyspepsia, functional heartburn and/or somatoform disorders is limited and debated in small case series. In a tertiary referral center for foregut surgery (the largest center for antireflux surgery in Germany), we studied patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) regarding their symptomatic spectrum over a period of 3 years. It was found that patients with GERD and associated somatoform disorders have significantly worse levels of quality of life. The latter patients can also benefit from laparoscopic fundoplication, however they will not reach a normal level. |
