25 CONCLUSIONS LINX can improve reflux symptoms and allow discontinuation of PPI with minimal side effects in patients with early-stage GERD. LINX can reduce the variability in outcomes observed with traditional antireflux surgery. A more pragmatic rather than dogmatic surgical approach in GERD is probably worthwhile. pp p y
