Abstract

Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) is an anti-reflux procedure with comparable outcomes to fundoplication, yet its use in patients with larger hiatal or paraesophageal hernias has not been widely reported. This review discusses the history of MSA and how its utilization has evolved from initial Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2012 for patients with small hernias to its contemporary use in patients with paraesophageal hernias and beyond.

Keywords: gastroesophageal reflux disease; hiatal hernia; magnetic sphincter augmentation; paraesophageal hernia repair.
