AB There  has  been  a  huge  increase  in  antireflux  operations  over  the  last  two  decades.  The  emergence  of  minimally  invasive  surgery  has  led  to  a  widening  of  surgical  indications  for  the  operation.  Reflux  disease  remains  a  functional  disorder  and  it  must  still  be  assessed  with  objectivity  if  unequivocal  evidence  of  mucosal  damage  within  the  esophagus  is  to  be  documented  before  indicating  a  medical  treatment  or  a  surgical  approach.  As  hiatal  hernias  and  reflux  esophagitis  have  been  closely  associated  over  the  last  half  century,  complications  in  their  surgical  management  will  be  treated  together.
