title: Gastroesophageal reflux in children.
abstract: Operations for the control of complicated gastroesophageal reflux in children are commonly performed procedures in large pediatric centers. The comprehensive diagnostic scheme includes radiologic and endoscopic work-up coupled with extended pH probe analysis. Medical therapy remains the principle form of management, with surgery reserved for treatment failure.
