Observational Study of Anti-Reflux Surgery

Observational Study of Anti-Reflux Surgery: Clinical Experience With the LINX Reflux Management System and Fundoplication

The Anti-Reflux Surgical Study has been established to:

• Collect data about anti-reflux surgical treatment options (magnetic sphincter augmentation and Fundoplication) in everyday clinical practice
• Track the clinical course of patients from pre-operative assessment to three years post-surgery

This study will track and monitor patients treated with either the magnetic sphincter augmentation or Fundoplication, making it the first Registry to collect data on both anti-reflux surgical options in the setting of everyday clinical experience.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Individuals treated with LINX Reflux Management System or Fundoplication
• Individuals who have provided appropriate authorization per institutional policy and procedure to have clinical and health information collected for the Anti-Reflux Surgical Registry.
• Individuals willing to complete questionnaires and comply with the three years of follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Known circumstances that would make it unlikely for an individual to complete the three year follow-up (e.g. life expectancy <3 years)
