Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by reinforcing the barrier between the stomach and esophagus.

Most commonly performed as a Nissen fundoplication, the surgery involves wrapping the upper portion of the stomach around the lower esophagus to prevent acid from flowing backward. Using small incisions and a laparoscope, this approach offers patients less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

At Arizona Endocrine Surgery, Dr. Harding tailors each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and severity of reflux to ensure long-term relief and improved quality of life.
