[History of surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux].

There exists, in our times, a great confusion concording the different techniques for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. Today, for instance, we use the name "fundoplication" for different operations that, in many occasions, have nothing to do with the original description of the technique.
