  • Title: [History of surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux].
    Author: Guarner V, Barragán R, Hegewisch ME.
    Journal: Gac Med Mex; 1998; 134(4):465-75. PubMed ID: 9789389.
    Abstract:
    There exists, in our times, a great confusion concording the different techniques for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. Today, for instance, we use the name "fundoplication" for different operations that, in many occasions, have nothing to do with the original description of the technique. It can be said that there exists a great lack of knowledge of the historical origins and of the evolution of all of these operations. The authors of this article have done a large-scale review of the original publications, as they appeared, for the first time, in medical literature.
