First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This observational study follows 200 adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who are scheduled for antireflux surgery in Poland.

Who is studied
Adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) undergoing elective antireflux surgery at participating surgical centers across Poland. Consecutive eligible patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be prospectively enrolled. All diagnostic evaluation, surgical treatment, and postoperative follow-up will be performed according to the routine clinical practice of each participating center. The study is observational and does not alter standard patient management. Demographic, clinical, operative, and follow-up data will be collected to evaluate current surgical practice and treatment outcomes after antireflux surgery.
