Common Esophageal Conditions We Treat
1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
GERD occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and potentially damaging the esophageal lining. Dr. Bhavsar performs advanced laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery for patients who don't respond to medication.
GERD Symptoms Requiring Surgery:
- Severe heartburn not responding to medications
- Chronic regurgitation and acid taste
- Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- Chronic cough or hoarseness
- Barrett's esophagus or precancerous changes
- Recurrent pneumonia from aspiration
2. Achalasia
A rare disorder where the lower esophageal sphincter doesn't relax properly, making it difficult for food to pass into the stomach. Our surgical gastroenterology expertise includes advanced laparoscopic Heller myotomy with fundoplication.
3. Hiatal Hernia
When part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. Dr. Bhavsar performs minimally invasive repair with excellent long-term outcomes.
4. Esophageal Cancer
Our GI oncosurgery program offers comprehensive treatment for esophageal cancer, including robotic esophagectomy with lymph node dissection for optimal outcomes.
