Abstract EN
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is part of the so-called extraesophageal manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
It is presented by unspecific symptoms and signs and is believed to be caused by the reflux of gastric content to the proximal esophagus and larynx.
However, evidence considering the role of the antireflux surgery for LPR has failed to demonstrate results comparable to those for GERD.
The aim of this paper is to review the current literature regarding the impact of laparoscopic fundoplication for the treatment of LPR.
