| Abstract |
The importance of endoscopic evaluation and grading of the gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV) in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was previously demonstrated with increased acid exposure and high grades of esophagitis in those with high-grade valves. On the other hand, no data exist on the relationship between GEFV appearance and surgical rate. |
