Gastroesophageal reflux

General surgeries

Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) is a common condition in which stomach contents back up into the esophagus and throat. This reflux occurs when the lower esophageal muscle opens abnormally, allowing digestive acids, food, and other liquids to back up into the esophagus and throat. GERD can lead to symptoms such as heartburn and sore throat, difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, esophagitis, and laryngitis,

Dietary therapy is by eating some foods that reduce the rate of esophageal reflux.

Surgical treatment, which D. Ahmed Safina resorts to in the event of the failure of the two previous methods, as he wraps part of the stomach around the muscle between the esophagus and the stomach in order to prevent the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. In some cases, he can expand the esophagus if it is narrow and does not allow food to pass smoothly, due to his use and keeping up with modern technologies and his long experience in the field of bariatric surgeries.
