Surgical Treatment for GERD and Hiatal Hernias

For patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who don’t find relief through medications or lifestyle changes, surgical treatment can provide long-lasting relief. One highly effective option is the LINX® device, a small, flexible band of magnetic beads placed around the lower esophagus. This device strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus while allowing normal swallowing and digestion. The LINX® device is a minimally invasive solution that has been shown to significantly reduce GERD symptoms and improve patients’ quality of life.

Minimally Invasive Surgery and Hiatal Hernia Repair

Our clinic specializes in minimally invasive surgical procedures to treat GERD and related conditions such as hiatal hernia. Using advanced laparoscopic techniques, our surgeons can repair a hiatal hernia by repositioning the stomach and reinforcing the diaphragm to prevent acid reflux. These minimally invasive surgeries involve small incisions, which result in less pain, faster recovery times, and minimal scarring. By addressing the underlying cause of GERD, these procedures provide durable symptom relief, helping patients return to a healthier and more comfortable lifestyle. Whether through the LINX® device or hiatal hernia repair, our team ensures a personalized treatment approach tailored to your needs.
