What is Esophageal Surgery?
Esophageal surgery involves procedures on the esophagus (food pipe) to treat various conditions including acid reflux (GERD), esophageal cancer, hiatal hernia, achalasia, and strictures. Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar specializes in both traditional and advanced minimally invasive esophageal surgery techniques, including laparoscopic and da Vinci robotic surgery.
The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting your throat to your stomach. When medical treatments fail to provide relief from esophageal conditions, surgical intervention becomes necessary to restore normal function and improve quality of life.

- Achalasia — Esophageal motility disorder affecting swallowing
- Esophageal Stricture — Narrowing of esophagus causing swallowing difficulty
- Barrett's Esophagus — Precancerous condition requiring surgical management
