Can EndoFLIP Improve Quality of Life Before and After Fundoplication?
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Patients with reflux disease (heart burn), or a hiatal hernia, who do not get better with medication, may have surgery to help with their symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no agreed upon way to perform the surgery. The investigators are using a new surgical instrument called the EndoFLIP which allows surgeons to take measurements during the operation. The investigators will compare the measurements obtained during surgery with a quality of life score that we will calculate from a questionnaire.
