Dear Victor Jaeger Linx is also experimental surgery. In my opinion you should not go for one experimental surgery to another. Please get 24 hour ambulatory dual probe pH monitoring and esophageal manometry before deciding which surgery will be better for your GERD. However, We do perform linx procedure but every patient is not a good candidate. So if you are not getting symptom relief with medication alone and you do not want an invasive fundoplication procedure, LINX could be the answer. With regard J S Chowhan |
