What is the success rate of the surgery?
Reflux can recur following surgery, but recurrence is rare. The rate of recurrence varies between 4 and 15 percent and largely depends on how extensive the disease was before surgery and if the esophagus was damaged. Recurrence can happen at any time, up to 20 years after the surgery, but it is most common in the first one to two years after surgery. If reflux does recur, the surgery can be repeated, with success rates of around 90 percent.
