Presentation Transcript

  1. Laparoscopy Surgery San Antonio | GERD TX This organ moves food down to the stomach with sweeping muscle contractions. At the lower end of the esophagus is a specialized muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES should remain tightly contracted until food or liquid arrives from above. The LES then relaxes, allowing the food and liquid to pass. Then it again becomes tightly contracted. https://www.stoneoakgi.com/correction-of-acid-reflux-by-laparoscopy/

  2. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) GERD occurs when excess stomach acid flows up into the esophagus because of a weak LES. Almost everyone experiences reflux and heartburn at one time or another, often after a large meal. However, prolonged and frequent acid in the lower esophagus can cause injury such as inflammation, ulceration, scar formation, and stricture and, after a long period of time, even cancer. https://www.stoneoakgi.com/correction-of-acid-reflux-by-laparoscopy/

  3. Laparoscopy Most females have heard of laparoscopy, also known as “bellybutton” or “Band-Aid” surgery. Gynecologists have long used this technique to tie the Fallopian tubes and to inspect the female reproductive organs. Now this technique has been expanded to include correction of severe reflux disease and esophagitis. With new video technology, the laparoscope has become a miniature television camera. Exquisite magnification is now possible, showing the abdominal organs in great detail. https://www.stoneoakgi.com/correction-of-acid-reflux-by-laparoscopy/
