PROMPT TREATMENT & TIMELY DIAGNOSIS IS IMPORTANT IN TREATING ACID REFLUX
DISEASES

If you constantly have to deal with Acid Reflux/Heartburn, you may be suffering
from Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can be very uncomfortable to
live with. Without treatment the symptoms will only get worse. You could even
develop narrowing of the oesophagus, which makes it more difficult to swallow.
Acid reflux disease can also lead to painful inflammation in your esophagus, an
increased risk of oesophageal cancer, asthma, recurring pneumonia and lung
scarring.

"WE UNDERSTAND THAT ACID REFLUX IS PAINFUL AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE SEVERE
COMPLICATIONS. OUR TEAM HERE AT ARDEN JR SURGERY IS COMMITTED TO FULLY TREAT
YOUR ACID REFLUX WITH A CUSTOMIZED AND COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PLAN."


COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ACID REFLUX

01. Acid Reflux Can Be Easily Treated With

OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATION

Non-surgical options can help manage symptoms by decreasing or eliminating acid
production in your stomach. However, for those with GERD, the actual root issue
lies in the mechanics of your body, and the actual acid reflux is still
occurring. If left untreated, GERD could put you at risk for other, more serious
health issues.

02. If You Never Had Acid Reflux,

YOU’RE PROBABLY SAFE FROM IT

There can be many causes for Acid Reflux, and many patients face it later in
life, as its causes include aging, pregnancy and weight gain. With age, your
digestion process slows, making you more likely to experience the unpleasant
regurgitation of stomach acid back into your oesophagus. With pregnancy,
hormones temporarily relax the connection between your esophagus and stomach.

03. Acid Reflux Is Common,

THEREFORE NOT SERIOUS

GERD can lead to serious complications such as dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing), regurgitation and an increased risk of cancer. This is due to
progressive damage to the oesophagus, resulting in inflammation, ulceration and
possible scarring with narrowing. In addition, these symptoms may be indicative
of esophageal cancer.


TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR GERD

Our treatment is customized to the patient’s condition, with the aim of cutting
down the amount of reflux or reduce the damage to the lining of the patient’s
oesophagus caused by the reflux. It’s therefore important to perform tests such
as a Gastroscopy, pH Monitoring etc. to better diagnose your condition.



Lifestyle Modification:

 * Avoid stress, smoking, alcohol.

 * Sleep with head end elevation.

 

Diet Modification:

 * Eat in small portions.

 * Avoid spicy foods.

Medications:

 * Antacids.

 * Proton pump inhibitors.

 

Endoscopic Intervention:

 * Stretta


STRETTA PROCEDURE

Stretta is an incision less outpatient surgery procedure that can be considered
as one of the treatment solutions compared to more invasive treatments. This
option maybe suggested by the doctor when acid reflux is not well controlled
with lifestyle/diet modifications & medications.

How does Stretta treat GERD ?

Stretta is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that can strengthen the
lower esophageal sphincter using radio frequency. The procedure helps restore
barrier in other to prevent acid from entering the esophagus and causing GERD
symptoms.



Benefits of Stretta:

Stretta is a very safe procedure that takes less than 60 minutes. Patients can
resume normal activities next day onwards.

NO HOSPITALIZATION

NON SURGICAL OPTION

QUICK RECOVERY

NO GENERAL ANAESTHESIA

LINX®️ reflux management system

The LINX device consists of a series of titanium beads, each with a magnetic
core, connected together with titanium wires to form a ring shape.

 

The LINX device is implanted around the lower oesophageal sphincter (a sphincter
is a muscle that surrounds and closes a bodily opening) to strengthen a weak
sphincter. Using the device helps to prevent the contents of the stomach from
backing up into the oesophagus (reflux).

Fundoplication

In this surgery, your surgeon will: First repair the hiatal hernia, if one is
present. This involves tightening the opening in your diaphragm with stitches to
keep your stomach from bulging upward through the opening in the muscle wall.
The surgeon will then wrap the upper part of your stomach around the end of your
oesophagus with stitches. The stitches create pressure at the end of your
oesophagus, which helps prevent stomach acid and food from flowing up from the
stomach into the oesophagus.
