What Is Reflux Surgery?

Reflux surgery, also known as anti-reflux surgery or fundoplication, aims to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter stopping stomach acid from moving back into the esophagus. This operation provides a good solution for patients who haven’t seen results from medicines or lifestyle changes. 

Signs You Might Need Reflux Surgery

You could be a good fit for reflux surgery if you often have these symptoms:

  • Heartburn that won’t go away
  • Acid coming back up your throat
