Common Esophagus Conditions Requiring Surgery
1. Esophageal Cancer
Dr. Bhavsar specializes in complex esophageal cancer surgery using minimally invasive techniques. His expertise in GI oncosurgery ensures comprehensive cancer treatment with multidisciplinary care. Robotic esophagectomy offers precision in removing cancerous tissue while preserving healthy structures.
2. Achalasia
Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy is the gold standard treatment for achalasia. Dr. Bhavsar performs this procedure robotically when indicated, providing better visualization and precision in dividing the tight muscle fibers that prevent food from passing into the stomach.
3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
For severe GERD not responding to medications, laparoscopic fundoplication may be recommended. This anti-reflux surgery can be performed robotically for enhanced precision, especially beneficial for patients with complex anatomy.
4. Hiatal Hernia
Large hiatal hernias often require surgical repair. Dr. Bhavsar uses both laparoscopic and robotic techniques for hiatal hernia repair, ensuring durable results with minimal invasive approach.
5. Esophageal Strictures
When endoscopic dilation fails, surgical intervention may be needed. Dr. Bhavsar's expertise includes complex reconstructive procedures for esophageal strictures.
📋 Symptoms That May Require Esophagus Surgery Consultation
- Persistent difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Pain while swallowing (odynophagia)
- Severe heartburn not responding to medications
- Regurgitation of food or liquids
- Unexplained weight loss with swallowing difficulty
- Chest pain related to eating
