Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that affects
the ring of muscle between the esophagus and stomach. Many people suffer
from heartburn or acid indigestion caused by GERD. In most cases, GERD
can be relieved through diet and lifestyle changes. However, some people
may require medication or surgery.
Treatments for GERD
When someone does not respond well to lifestyle changes or medications
to control their gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), surgery may be
an option.
Our general surgeons perform the following procedures:
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication – a minimally invasive procedure that restores the function of the
valve between the esophagus and stomach, helping prevent acid reflux.
Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) – a minimally invasive, incisionless procedure that rebuilds the
anti-reflux valve and restores the body's natural protection against acid reflux.
