Dear Avril Bahadur Linx procedure is at present experimental stage so we will advice you to go for laparoscopic fundoplication. Before going for surgery you should get pH monitoring and esophageal manometry done. Please keep it in mind that fundoplication has its own complications like dysphagia and others so patient selection is the paramount for this surgery. With regard Sadhana |
