AB Management  of  the  failed  reflux  operation  is  emerging  as  an  important  challenge  in  modern  surgical  foregut  practice.  Over  the  last  decade  and  a  half,  the  number  of  patients  referred  for  antireflux  surgery  has  increased  eightfold.  Approximately  70,000  operations  are  performed  annually  in  the  United  States.1  The  increased  use  of  minimally  invasive  techniques  to  treat  gastroesophageal  reflux  disease  (GERD)  has  resulted  from  the  lower  perceived  morbidity  associated  with  laparoscopy  in  comparison  with  the  open  approach.
