    Existing assessments of this procedure

    In 2022, the American Gastroenterological Association published the clinical practice update on the personalised approach to the evaluation and management of GERD: expert review. This expert review recommended that 'in patients with proven GERD, laparoscopic fundoplication and MSA are effective surgical options, and transoral incisionless fundoplication is an effective endoscopic option in carefully selected patients'. The recommendation relating to laparoscopic MSA was based on 1 RCT (Bell 2019, 2022).
