Where this comes from

Abstract

The advance of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques in recent years has prompted several groups throughout the world to investigate the possibilities for a minimally invasive approach to reconstruct a defective antireflux mechanism in patients with intractable gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Prospective trials are needed to evaluate the long-term durability and efficiency of these procedures.
