Reflux surgery, also known as anti-reflux surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or chronic acid reflux. GERD occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, regurgitation, and discomfort. Reflux surgery aims to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) or create a barrier to prevent acid reflux and alleviate these symptoms, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Reflux surgery involves various surgical techniques to address GERD, particularly when lifestyle changes and medications fail to provide adequate relief. The most common reflux surgery is the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication, where the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to tighten the LES. This helps to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
