Acid Reflux and GI Services - Naab Road Surgical Center
Understanding Acid Reflux
Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a common digestive disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing.
Comprehensive Acid Reflux Treatment
At Naab Road Surgical Center, we specialize in providing high-quality acid reflux and GI services to help patients find relief and improve their overall gastrointestinal health. Our team of skilled professionals, including surgeons, gastroenterologists, and nutritionists, work together to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Tools
We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately identify the underlying causes of acid reflux. These may include:
- Upper Endoscopy: This procedure allows us to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine using a flexible tube with a camera.
- Esophageal pH Monitoring: By measuring the acid levels in the esophagus over a period of time, we can better understand the frequency and severity of acid reflux episodes.
- Esophageal Manometry: This test assesses the functioning of the esophagus and checks for abnormalities that may contribute to acid reflux.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
For patients with mild to moderate acid reflux, we often recommend non-surgical approaches as the first line of treatment. These may include:
- Lifestyle Modifications: Making changes to your diet, such as avoiding trigger foods and maintaining a healthy weight, can significantly reduce acid reflux symptoms.
- Medications: Our experienced gastroenterologists can prescribe appropriate medications to help manage acid reflux, including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 blockers.
- Behavioral Therapy: Certain relaxation techniques and stress management strategies may help alleviate acid reflux symptoms.
Surgical Intervention for Acid Reflux
In cases where non-surgical treatments are ineffective or if the severity of acid reflux warrants further intervention, our skilled surgeons perform advanced procedures, such as:
- Nissen Fundoplication: This procedure involves creating a new valve mechanism to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
- Linx Reflux Management System: The Linx device is a small, flexible band of magnets that is surgically placed around the esophagus to reinforce the natural barrier against reflux.
