Surgical Clinics of North America, 1993
Gastroesophageal reflux is a common disease that accounts for approximately 75% of esophageal pathology. Motility abnormalities of the esophagus and stomach, including an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter, are responsible for pathologic reflux in the majority of patients. Surgical treatment offers the only chance for long-term cure.

Gastroesophageal Reflux and Rhinosinusitis
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2013Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic rhino-sinusitis (CRS) are prevalent disorders. Coexistence by chance is to be expected in a number of patients. Coexistence due to shared pathogenic mechanisms is controversial. In this paper, we have described the characteristics of GERD and CRS epidemiologically, diagnostically, and ...
