Does "Linx Reflux Management System" Surgery available for GERD. If yes, then plz tell me the minimal hospitalization required and Cost of it. Impression : CECT upper abdomen findings reveal:- Dilated distal esophagus as described with ? incomplete gastro-esophageal sphincter. No obvious intra-abdominal pathology or hiatus hernia seen. |

Dear Kamal Before deciding which anti reflux surgery is suitable for you we need to get your pH monitoring and esophageal manometry done. The LINX Strategy is a little flexible gang of interlinked titanium beads with magnetic cores. The magnetic attraction relating to the beads should help the LES resist opening to gastric pressures, preventing reflux from your stomach into the esophagus. LINX was created so that swallowing forces temporarily break the magnetic bond, allowing food and liquid to feed normally into the stomach. Magnetic attraction in the method is built to close the LES right after swallowing, restoring the body natural barrier to reflux. Linx procedure is comparatively new procedure and it is for mild GERD. With regard J S Chowhan |
