In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). We will discuss the pathophysiology, focusing on the reflux of stomach contents back into the esophagus and the factors that contribute to the weakening of the lower esophageal sphincter. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, including symptom assessment, endoscopy, and pH monitoring. Finally, we will review the management strategies for GERD, emphasizing lifestyle modifications, pharmacological therapy including proton pump inhibitors, and in severe cases, surgical interventions such as fundoplication.
