At Dr. Vikrom Dhar’s practice, we provide advanced surgical solutions for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), empowering patients to live free from the discomfort and complications of chronic acid reflux. With a compassionate approach and expertise in minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Dhar offers tailored treatments that deliver lasting relief.
Understanding GERD
GERD occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and symptoms such as:
- Persistent heartburn
- Difficulty swallowing
- Regurgitation
- Chronic cough
- Sore throat or hoarseness
Left untreated, GERD can lead to more serious complications, including esophagitis, strictures, or Barrett’s esophagus.
Our Surgical Options for Reflux Relief
Dr. Dhar specializes in effective surgical procedures designed to treat GERD and its underlying causes:
Fundoplication Surgery
This minimally invasive procedure involves wrapping the top part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to strengthen the esophageal sphincter, preventing acid reflux. Dr. Dhar offers both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted options for optimal precision and faster recovery.
LINX® Reflux Management System
A revolutionary treatment, the LINX system involves placing a small ring of magnetic beads around the lower esophageal sphincter. This strengthens the barrier to reflux while allowing natural swallowing and digestion.
Hiatal Hernia Repair
For patients with a hiatal hernia contributing to their reflux, Dr. Dhar performs hernia repair alongside reflux surgery to address the root cause and improve outcomes.
