Specialized Care for GERD and Esophageal Disorders
Chronic acid reflux, medically known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), can significantly impact your quality of life. When lifestyle modifications and medications fail to provide relief, anti-reflux surgery becomes a viable and effective treatment option.
At our Indore center, we offer expert esophageal surgery, including laparoscopic fundoplication, to address the root causes of GERD and restore optimal digestive health.
Understanding GERD and Its Implications
GERD occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)weakens or relaxes inappropriately, allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. This backflow leads to symptoms such as:
- Persistent heartburn
- Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
- Difficulty swallowi
- Chronic cough or sore throat
- Chest pain, especially when lying down
If left untreated, GERD can lead to complications like esophagitis, esophageal strictures, or Barrett’s esophagus.
Surgical Intervention: Laparoscopic Fundoplication
Laparoscopic fundoplication is a minimally invasive surgerydesigned to strengthen the LES, preventing acid reflux. During the procedure:
- Small incisions are made in the abdomen.
- A laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) provides visual guidance.
- The upper part of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the lower esophagus.
- This wrap reinforces the LES, reducing reflux episodes.
Benefits of this approach include:
- Reduced postoperative pain
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster recovery times
- Minimal scarring
