Details.
Keyhole surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease. The procedure wraps part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to strengthen the valve and prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus. It may suit patients whose heartburn is not well controlled with medicine, those seeking to avoid long-term medication, or those experiencing reflux complications including ulcers, strictures, hernias or Barrett’s esophagus. Hospital stay is often 1 to 2 days, with return to normal activities between 1 and 2 weeks. Contact the clinic to arrange a private consultation and discuss your options.
