The article discloses the results of the examination and treatment of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, the course of which was complicated with extraesophageal (bronchopulmonary and laryngeal) symptoms. The authors managed to establish the connection between gastric reflux and pulmonary and laryngeal symptoms with a high degree of reliability, based on the results of functional methods of research (24-hour pH-measurement in the esophagus). The obtained results of the treatment testify to the efficiency of active surgical tactics in this group of patients.
