GERD issues are more common than you might think, but that doesn’t mean you have to endure uncomfortable symptoms. 幸运的是, 在迪拜美国医院, patients can receive both conservative acid reflux treatment options and minimally invasive surgical interventions to get rid of discomfort and prevent complications.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD is a chronic disease that occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus and irritates the esophagus lining. The esophagus is a tube that transports solids and liquids from the mouth to the stomach, so when it gets affected by the stomach acid, 它会产生酸的感觉, 胃灼热, 胸部疼痛, 还有喉咙痛等症状. So, if you experience these symptoms persistently, it warrants medical attention to be diagnosed and addressed without any delay. 如果反流得不到治疗, the affected esophagus may lead to urther medical complications and even transform into a pre-cancerous condition, 我们称之为巴雷特食道.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease 治疗:

In most cases, GERD is controlled with medication. But in instances when medication fails to alleviate your symptoms and health then your care provider can recommend any of the following minimally invasive surgical interventions:

• Fundoplication: A laparoscopic procedure in nature, fundoplication is meant to tighten the muscle to prevent reflux by wrapping the upper portion of the stomach around the bottom of the esophageal sphincter through a few tiny incisions.
• Another method involves the LINX device which comprises a ring of tiny magnetic beads. Inserted at the junction of the stomach and esophagus, the device works by creating a magnetic attraction between beads that is too powerful to keep the junction closed for refluxing acid. It allows food contents to pass through though.

Since these recommended procedures use a laparoscope and a few narrow instruments for the treatment of GERD, 它们造成的疤痕较少, 快速复苏, and enable patients to get back to their normal lives and activities with improved health quicker than conservative methods. 

• Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF): Relatively a new procedure, TIF is performed through the mouth using an endoscope, and it involves no surgical intervention. However, it works on the same mechanics as a fundoplication procedure i.e., create a partial wrap around the bottom of the esophagus to tighten the lower esophageal sphincter.
