Diet and lifestyle consultation:

Diet and lifestyle changes are an integral part of the treatment of GERD and Acid reflux. This is true for patients who need medications or surgery. We put a lot of emphasis on this so that we can achieve excellent long-term outcomes. Also, Some Lifestyle changes are
Weight reduction: Being overweight often worsens symptoms. Weight loss is found to improve symptoms.
Stop Cigarette: Cigarette smoking weakens the LES. Stopping smoking is important to reduce GERD symptoms.
Elevation of Bed: Elevating the head of the bed on 6-inch blocks or sleeping on a specially designed wedge reduces heartburn by allowing gravity to minimize the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. Do not use pillows to prop yourself up; that only increases pressure on the stomach.

Medical management for gerd and acid reflux:

With a milder form of GERD problem, treatment with medications along with diet and lifestyle changes would suffice. The decision to treat with medications or surgery is based on the needs of the individual patient.

Laparoscopic surgery as a onetime solution:

For those having severe GERD or Acid reflux, and those who are suffering for a long time, surgery is a superior option. We routinely do these surgeries with excellent short and long-term outcomes.

Psychological evaluation and modulation:

GERD and acid reflux are very commonly associated with a component of anxiety and psychological disturbances. Especially in a patient who is suffering for a long time. Thorough psychological evaluation and modulation with both counseling and medications are a routine part of our treatment.

When is surgery necessary?

Dr. Samrat Jankar is the best Laparoscopic Surgeon in Pune and advises Laparoscopic fundoplication surgery if their symptoms are not relieved through other medical treatments.

Complications of GERD:

If left untreated, chronic gastroesophageal reflux can cause complications such as esophagitis, esophageal ulcers, bleeding, scarring of the esophagus, and even cancer over a longer period. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery (also called Nissen fundoplication) is used in the treatment of heartburn (GERD/Acid Reflux) when medicines are not successful. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is a minimally-invasive procedure that corrects gastroesophageal reflux by reducing the hiatal hernia, reconstructing the esophageal hiatus, and reinforcing the lower esophageal sphincter.

What are the expected results after laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery?

Studies have shown that the vast majority of patients who undergo the procedure are either symptom-free or have significant improvement in their heartburn (GERD/Acid Reflux) symptoms. The advantage of the laparoscopic approach is that it usually provides:

reduced postoperative pain
