Does the results of this study demonstrate that most patients undergoing primary laparoscopic fundoplication have near normal GERD−HRQL scores? Are the patients satisfied with their decision to undergo surgery at long-term follow-up? Are the results following redo laparoscopic fundoplication as good as with primary laparoscopic fundoplication?
