Terre Haute's Experts in
Robotic Reflux Surgery
Lynch Surgical Group provides comprehensive evaluation and robotic surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal hernias, and related conditions. Our surgeons offer multiple treatment options tailored to each patient’s anatomy, symptoms, and testing results.
Endoscopy
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
EGD is a diagnostic procedure that allows our surgeons to examine the lining of your esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. This helps us identify any abnormalities, including reflux damage or hiatal hernias.
pH Bravo
The Bravo™ system uses a small wireless capsule placed during EGD to measure acid exposure in the esophagus over four days. This helps us evaluate the severity of reflux and tailor treatment to each patient.
Robotic Surgery
Hiatal Hernia Repair
A hiatal hernia is when the stomach slides through the diaphragm into the chest. This can cause acid reflux as well as other symptoms.
Our skilled surgeons use state-of-the-art robotic technology to perform hiatal hernia repairs with precision and minimal invasiveness. This advanced technique allows for faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain.
Fundoplication
This surgery involves wrapping a portion of your stomach around the esophagus to act as a valve and reduce reflux into the esophagus. This can be done as a full wrap (Nissen Fundoplication) or a partial wrap such as a Toupet Fundoplication.
LINX Procedure
The LINX procedure involves the placement of a small, flexible band of magnets around the lower esophagus. This magnetic sphincter augmentation device helps prevent acid reflux while allowing normal swallowing.
