Background: Antireflux surgery (ARS) is a well established treatment for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). The present study gives an overview of experience in Austria regarding the frequency of open and laparoscopic ARS and how Austrian departments meet the requirements for surgery.
Methods: A questionnaire was sent to 115 surgical departments in Austria to evaluate in how many institutions antireflux surgery (open and/or laparoscopically) was performed since 1990, and which pre- and postoperative tests were obligatory, optional, or not performed.
