There are various surgical procedures for managing GERD. These are:
Fundoplication: This technique works on the lower oesophagal sphincter and tightens and reinforces it. The upper part of the stomach is tightened around the lower oesophagus from outside. This surgery can be performed both as laparoscopic and open surgery. The surgery has good outcomes in the long term.
Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication: This surgery is performed when both the laparoscopic and open fundoplication is not possible. The surgery does not need any incision and creates a barrier between the stomach and oesophagus. As a result, it prevents the reflux of acid. The doctor inserts a device, EsophyX, in your mouth in this method. This device forms a valve at the base of the oesophagus by creating multiple folds.
Bard EndoCinch System: This is an LES strengthening procedure. The doctor forms multiple pleats in LES by making the stitches. This technique uses an endoscope. Although this technique is not common, it may be required in some patients. Consult with your doctor if you are suitable for this method.
Stretta Procedure: Stretta Procedure also uses an endoscope. The surgeon inserts the endoscope into the oesophagus. The tube has electrodes at the end. With the help of electrodes, the surgeon makes small cuts in the oesophagus. There is a formation of scar tissues due to these cuts. Scar tissue helps in strengthening surrounding muscles. The nerve that responds to the acid is also blocked. It is a new method, and long-term outcomes are not documented.
Linx Surgery: The surgeon uses the special device, Linx, to perform surgery. It is a ring comprising magnetic titanium beads. The surgeon wraps it around the LES, resulting in strengthening the sphincter. The beads are away from each other due to the magnetic effect and provide an easy passage to the food. It is a minimally invasive surgery.
