Details.
Surgical treatment for reflux that uses five small abdominal incisions and wraps part of the stomach around the esophagus to recreate the lower esophageal sphincter and reduce reflux. Preoperative testing may include esophageal manometry, upper endoscopy, pH testing, and X-rays. Recovery includes gradually advancing from clear liquids to a regular diet, with dietary progression over approximately two weeks and a return to a regular diet typically within eight weeks.
