Updated AGA GERD guidelines exclude a portion of patients who historically would have been diagnosed with and surgically treated for GERD. This cohort appears to have a less severe GERD phenotype but equivalent outcomes up to 1 year, with more atypical GERD symptoms at 2 years postop. AET may better define who should be offered ARS than DeMeester score.
