Optimal Management of Erosive Esophagitis: An Evidence-based and Pragmatic Approach
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Erosive Esophagitis (EE) is the most common complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with EE can be asymptomatic or present with severe symptoms such as dysphagia and gastrointestinal bleeding. Approximately 10-15% of patients with EE have refractory disease. Optimal management of EE requires understanding its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and available evaluation and treatment modalities. While pharmacologic treatment of EE is often successful, procedural options such as surgery and endoscopic therapy may be necessary. This article presents an evidence-based and pragmatic approach to the management of EE, the most common complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
