Abstract
We compared the surgical and medical managements of reflux esophagitis in a prospective clinical trial. Patients with severe reflux symptoms and evidence of objective reflux esophagitis were randomly assigned to surgical (15 patients) and medical (16 patients) groups. A non-randomized medical group (20 patients) was also studied.Keywords
