The esophagus is the muscular tube connecting your throat to your stomach. When medical conditions affect the esophagus, surgery may be necessary to restore normal function and improve quality of life. Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar, a highly experienced esophagus surgeon serving Chandkheda and surrounding areas, specializes in both laparoscopic and robotic esophageal procedures.
Located at Gastroplus Hospital in Nikol, just 15-20 minutes from Chandkheda via SG Highway, Dr. Bhavsar provides state-of-the-art esophageal surgery with minimal recovery time and excellent outcomes. As a da Vinci certified robotic surgeon, he offers the most advanced surgical options available in Ahmedabad.
For severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that doesn't respond to medications, laparoscopic fundoplication is the gold standard treatment. This minimally invasive procedure involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to strengthen the valve between the esophagus and stomach.
For esophageal cancer, Dr. Bhavsar performs robotic-assisted esophagectomy using the da Vinci system. This advanced approach offers superior precision, smaller incisions, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
When part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm, laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair can restore normal anatomy and eliminate symptoms like heartburn and difficulty swallowing.
For achalasia, a condition where the esophageal muscles don't relax properly, Dr. Bhavsar offers Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) — a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that divides the muscle fibers to improve swallowing.
Surgical treatment for esophageal pouches that can trap food and cause swallowing difficulties, performed using advanced laparoscopic techniques.
