Surgery for Acidity: Advanced Treatment for Reflux and GERD
Acidity, commonly caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, leading to heartburn, chest discomfort, and digestive disturbances. While most cases are managed with lifestyle changes and medications, some patients with severe or persistent GERD may benefit from surgical intervention.
Surgery for acidity aims to restore the function of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), prevent reflux, and improve quality of life.
What Is Surgery for Acidity?
Surgical treatment for acidity typically involves minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic fundoplication. In this procedure, the upper part of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the lower esophagus to strengthen the LES and prevent acid reflux.
Surgery is generally recommended when:
Symptoms persist despite long-term medical therapy
There is significant esophageal damage (esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus)
Patients develop complications such as strictures, ulcers, or respiratory problems due to reflux
There is intolerance or side effects from medications
Benefits of Surgery for Acidity
Compared to long-term medication, surgical intervention offers several advantages:
Permanent correction of reflux and heartburn
Relief from regurgitation, chest discomfort, and associated symptoms
Reduced dependence on medications
Minimally invasive approach with faster recovery
Improved quality of life and sleep
Laparoscopic Surgery for GERD
Laparoscopic fundoplication is the gold standard surgical approach for severe acidity. The procedure is performed through small keyhole incisions using a camera and specialized instruments, offering precision, minimal trauma, and shorter recovery times.
Most patients experience significant symptom relief and can resume normal activities within a few days.
