We compared the surgical and medical managements of reflux esophagitis in a prospective managements of reflux esophagitis in a prospective clinical trial. Patients wissigned to surgical (15 patients) and medical (16 patients) groups. A non-randomized medical group (20 patients) was also studied. Seventy three per cent of the surgical and 19 per cent of the medical group had an excellent to good response. A fair to poor response was observed in 81 per cent of medical and 27 per cent of surgical patients. Symptomatic improvement was accompanied by normal findings on acid infusion test and esophagoscopy. The histologic appearance of the squamous mucosa, however, remained abnormal in all but one patient. In patients who did well after operation there was improvement in resting lower-esophageal-sphincter pressures and absence of gastroesophageal reflux. The relative increases in pphincter pressure to graded increases in gastric pressure, however, remained abnormal in all but one patient.
