Acid reflux can interfere with your daily activities, disturb your sleep, and impact your overall quality of life. While lifestyle modifications and medications help many people, others continue to struggle with persistent symptoms. For those dealing with chronic or severe reflux, laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery may offer long-term relief. Our team provides advanced laparoscopic surgery in New York, offering patients a minimally invasive option to help restore comfort and digestive function.
Understanding Acid Reflux and GERD
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid moves upward into the esophagus, often causing heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort. When these symptoms become frequent or severe, the condition is typically diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Common symptoms may include:
Frequent heartburn
Sour taste in the mouth
Chest or upper abdominal pain
Difficulty swallowing
Chronic cough or hoarseness
If you find yourself relying on antacids or prescription reflux medications daily, it may be time to consider a more definitive treatment option.
What Is Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux Surgery?
Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery - often called laparoscopic fundoplication - is a minimally invasive procedure designed to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter, the valve that prevents stomach acid from flowing upward.
During the procedure, our laparoscopic surgeon in NY makes a few small incisions and uses tiny instruments and a camera to repair the reflux-causing anatomical issues. The goal is to restore proper function while minimizing discomfort and speeding up your recovery.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux Surgery
Patients often consider surgery after exhausting conservative treatments. The benefits can be life-changing:
Long-lasting relief from heartburn and regurgitation
Reduced dependence on acid-reducing medications
Improvement in sleep and daily comfort
Minimally invasive technique with small incisions
Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery
Reduced risk of long-term esophageal damage
Many patients experience significant improvement shortly after surgery, with results continuing to strengthen over time.
