Gastroesophageal reflux in infants and children

the long version

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common condition in children. In most infants the reflux disappears spontaneously after the first year of life; nevertheless, children may be managed with medical therapy and those with refractory disease should be referred to surgery. Guidelines for clinical practice have not yet been established for children. The editors of this book, have joined gastroenterologists, pediatricians, pediatric surgeons and radiologists to provide a modern overview on this pathology. The multimedia format of this endeavour (book with DVD) is extremely practical and simple to read.
