Foreword
Reflux is a normal physiologic process experienced by all of us. The stomach needs to vent gas. Symptoms of reflux are ubiquitous and affect nearly a quarter of our population. Complications of excessive reflux can be considerable and range from mild swallowing difficulty to esophageal cancer and death. An incomplete understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the aerodigestive tract as it relates to reflux in health and disease has led to confusion, missed diagnoses, and inappropriate and unnecessary treatments. Laryngopharyngeal and Gastroesophageal Reflux unites some of the brightest and most innovative minds in the field to thoroughly elucidate the comprehensive diagnosis and management of this enigmatic physiologic process and its disorders. Congratulation Dr. Zalvan on a job well done!
