Dear kanchana shetty Before treating the GERD by any surgical means it is important to decide that you are suffering from true GERD or not. For many patient surgery can harm more than it can benifit. GERD can be a mild attack of heartburn that passes quickly or can be easily treated with over the counter remedies. For others, it is a debilitating disease that dramatically reduces their quality of life. So first we have to examine you to know whether you are a good candidate for surgery or not. The LINX Reflux Management System is used for treating GERD when medication no longer provides adequate symptom control. The LINX System is another option to the standard surgery for GERD, such as Nissen fundoplication. Although long term data of success of linx system is not available as this is a new instrument.
