Acid Reflux Surgery

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a chronic condition where stomach acid or bile flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, regurgitation, and chest pain. While medications can alleviate symptoms temporarily, many people opt for minimally invasive acid reflux surgery to address GERD and find permanent relief.

How Does Acid Reflux Surgery Work?

  • Procedure Overview:

    • Acid reflux surgery (fundoplication surgery) involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus. This creates a valve that prevents stomach acid from flowing into the esophagus.

  • Minimally Invasive Approach:

    • The surgery is performed laparoscopically, using several small incisions on the abdomen.
    • Instruments and a microscopic camera are inserted through these incisions, enabling precise control from outside the body.

  • General Anesthesia:

    • The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

  • Applicable for Hernias:

    • This surgery is suitable for patients with or without hiatal hernias.

Testimonials

This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I feel good now. Most of my medications are reduced and I do not need insulin pump anymore. I got all my questions answered in the clinic, surgeon Maleckas was supportive and calm. His experience and attitude convinced me to take this step. And I could say it is worth it. Thank you.

I was always tired and very sick. My blood sugar was very high. Once I heard I had diabetes I looked into mini gastric bypass procedure and chose Dr. Maleckas for that. After surgery, the first day was a little difficult, but it passed and the second day I was already at home. Now my results are incredible. I am more than happy about my health. Definitely go for it, it is well worth it.

My biggest frustration today is that I didn’t do this surgery sooner. My diabetes, heel spurs, high blood pressure – all are gone. Would recommend to every person with overweight.
