Removal of the Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation Device: Surgical Technique and Results of a Single-center Cohort Study.
TLDR
Laroscopic removal of the Linx device can be safely performed as a 1-stage procedure and in conjunction with fundoplication even in patients presenting with device erosion.Abstract:
Objective:The aim of this study was to identify patients’ characteristics that may predict failure and removal of the Linx sphincter augmentation device, and to report the results of 1-stage laparoscopic removal and fundoplication.Background:The Linx device is a long-term magnetic implant that was dread more

Complications of Antireflux Surgery.
TL;DR: Recreating an antireflux barrier to balance bidirectional bolus flow is challenging, and wraps may be too tight or too loose, so post-fundoplication symptoms and complications are common.

TL;DR: Both anti-reflux procedures are safe and effective up to 1-year follow-up and MSA is associated with less gas/bloat symptoms and increased ability to vomit and belch.

Lower Esophageal Sphincter Augmentation for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: The Safety of a Modern Implant.
TL;DR: During a 4-year period in more than 3000 patients, no unanticipated MSAD complications have emerged, and there is no trend of increased events over time, suggesting MSAD is considered safe for the widespread treatment of GERD.

Spotlight on the Linx™ Reflux Management System for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease: evidence and research
TL;DR: The Linx device has been shown to not only be effective for the management of GERD but also be as effective as fundoplication and with respect to safety, the most common complication of MSA is dysphagia.
