Cost-effectiveness of laparoscopic fundoplication <i>versus</i> continued medical management for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease based on long-term follow-up of the REFLUX trial

Abstract

Laparoscopic fundoplication is a cost-effective alternative to continued medical management over 5 years. No evidence was found to suggest that the cost-effectiveness of laparoscopic fundoplication diminishes over time.
