Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD is a common digestive disease that occurs when stomach acid flows back into your esophagus and irritates the lining. GERD can result when your lower esophageal sphincter weakens and causes stomach contents to rise.
The most common signs and symptoms of GERD are frequent acid reflux and heartburn. Other symptoms include a dry cough, wheezing, asthma, pneumonia, nausea, vomiting.
Our surgeons offer advanced robotic and laparoscopic management of GERD through Nissen Fundoplication and other indicated procedures.
