Long-term symptom patterns, endoscopic findings, and gastric histology in Helicobacter pylori-infected and -uninfected patients.

abstract：GOALS AND BACKGROUND:Fundoplication is increasingly used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Few studies have tracked patient outcomes of the Toupet method for more than 1 year.
