GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, affects millions of people in the U.S., causing heartburn, esophageal damage, pain and other digestive/health issues. Medications and lifestyle changes can help manage heartburn and GERD, but surgery may be recommended in chronic cases to relieve patients. Danny Shouhed, MD, is a board-certified gastrointestinal (GI) surgeon who offers GERD treatment and anti-reflux surgery through his practice in Los Angeles and Santa Monica. He also offers revisional GERD surgery for patients with a recurrent paraesophageal hernia, a herniation of a prior fundoplication or another repeat abdominal complication.
Chronic heartburn and GERD are the most common GI conditions. Genetics, health conditions, lifestyle choices and certain substances can impact the connection between the esophagus and stomach at the lower esophagus sphincter (LES). When the LES no longer works correctly, stomach acid and regurgitated food can backflow into the esophagus from the stomach, resulting in heartburn and reflux symptoms. Anti-reflux surgery or LES surgery options can improve the function of the LES for long-term relief from GERD.
Dr. Danny Shouhed is a top GI surgeon who can perform minimally invasive LES surgery and anti-reflux surgery for patients with esophageal damage, hiatal hernia or uncontrolled GERD. He can also perform complex foregut operations like revisional GERD surgery, which few surgeons are experienced enough to execute.
Dr. Danny Shouhed specializes in minimally invasive GI surgery that offers fewer risks and quicker recovery for patients than open surgery. Most anti-reflux or GERD surgical treatments can be performed using laparoscopic methods, using only tiny incisions to access the stomach and esophagus. Dr. Shouhed has extensive experience conducting complex GI surgeries to repair the LES or paraesophageal hernias to relieve GERD. Some of the possible treatments for patients with GERD include:
