Severe GERD: When lifestyle changes and medications fail to control acid reflux, surgical intervention may be necessary to prevent complications like Barrett's esophagus.
Achalasia: This rare condition affecting the esophageal muscles often requires surgical treatment to restore normal swallowing function.

The da Vinci system allows Dr. Bhavsar to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy, especially important for delicate esophageal surgery where precision is crucial.
Recovery time varies by procedure type. Robotic esophagectomy typically requires 7-10 days in hospital and 6-8 weeks for complete recovery. Patients usually return to light activities in 2-3 weeks and normal work in 8-12 weeks. Dr. Bhavsar provides personalized recovery timeline based on your specific condition and procedure.
Most esophageal surgeries are covered by health insurance, especially when medically necessary for cancer or severe GERD. Gastroplus Hospital accepts all major insurance plans and our billing team assists with pre-authorization and claim processing. We also offer flexible payment options for self-pay patients.
While all surgeries carry risks, Dr. Bhavsar's minimally invasive approach significantly reduces complications. Potential risks include bleeding, infection, anastomotic leak, and respiratory issues. Our experienced team takes extensive precautions, and our 24/7 monitoring ensures any complications are addressed immediately.
Most patients can return to normal eating after recovery, though some dietary modifications may be needed initially. Our nutritionist works with each patient to develop a personalized eating plan. For procedures like fundoplication, patients typically experience significant improvement in acid reflux symptoms.
Surgery may be recommended for esophageal cancer, severe GERD not responding to medication, achalasia, or other structural problems. Dr. Bhavsar conducts thorough evaluation including endoscopy, imaging studies, and symptom assessment to determine if surgery is the best option for your condition.
