Detailed Description
To treat GERD, the most patients with GERD are managed with acid suppressive medication first, and followed by antireflux surgery when the medical therapy is not effective or when the patient prefer surgery to quit the medicine.
This study has a single cohort in which the patient has the past history of GERD and medical treatment with proton pump inhibitors, and has scheduled to have laparoscopic antireflux surgery for treatment of GERD.
Treatment outcome of surgery will be evaluated comparing with the outcome of medical treatment before registration.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Symptom Control Rate of Surgical and Non-surgical Treatment for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) [Change from baseline GERD symptom at 3 months after antireflux surgery]
GERD symptom control rate of surgical and non-surgical treatment for GERD based on the GERD symptom questionaire
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Medical Cost of Surgical and Non-surgical Treatment for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) [Change from baseline medical cost (non-surgical) at 3 months after antireflux surgery]
Evaluation of medical cost based on public insurance system and patients' history
- Complication rate and adverse symptom rate related with antireflux surgery [Change from baseline GERD symptom at 3 months after antireflux surgery]
Surgical complication and adverse symptom related with antireflux surgery evaluated with GERD symptom questionaire and case records
