Understanding Anti Reflux Surgery for GERD
Anti reflux surgery, primarily laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, is a highly effective treatment for severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that doesn't respond adequately to medications. For patients in Gandhinagar and surrounding areas, Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar offers both advanced robotic surgery and laparoscopic techniques at Gastroplus Hospital, just 30 minutes away via the Gandhinagar-Ahmedabad Highway.
This procedure involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach (fundus) around the lower esophagus to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter and prevent acid reflux. Dr. Bhavsar's expertise in esophagus and stomach surgery ensures optimal outcomes with minimal invasive techniques.
