Core Tip	The present review focuses on the definition and diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the techniques and results of laparoscopic fundoplication, and the currently accepted indications for antireflux surgery. Proton pump inhibitor-refractory GERD is thoroughly considered, with a special regard to impedance-pH monitoring criteria useful for diagnosing this condition which currently represents the main indication for laparoscopic fundoplication.
