Laparoscopic Surgery for Reflux Disease

Using advanced minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Bagnato is able to repair the ring of muscle that prevents stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus and causing the discomfort of acid reflux.  Minimally Invasive surgery, also called keyhole surgery or band aid surgery, allows Dr. Bagnato to perform this repair through tiny incisions in the abdomen.  This results in faster recovery and less post-operative pain than traditional surgery.  Learn more about Laparoscopic GERD surgery »
