Surgery for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: Esophageal Impedance to Progress?

Dr. Kuemmerle speaks with Dr. Stuart J. Spechler, author of an editorial looking at surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the December issue of CGH. They also discuss a related 12-year study in the same issue that compared the effects of therapy for GERD with omeprazole with those of antireflux surgery. Dr. Spechler is chief of the Division of Gastroenterology at the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Professor of Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX.
