GERD (Acid Reflux): Symptoms, Diagnosis, & Surgical Treatment Options

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as acid reflux, is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions. In this video, Dr. Danny Shouhed, a minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgeon, explains the anatomy behind GERD, why it develops, and how it can be treated. Dr. Shouhed reviews the two main causes of reflux—hiatal hernias and a weakened or loose lower esophageal sphincter—and explains the typical and atypical symptoms patients may experience, from heartburn and regurgitation to chronic cough and hoarseness. He also addresses the limitations and long-term risks of medications such as PPIs (Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid) and when surgery becomes the best option. Treatment options covered in this video include hiatal hernia repair, fundoplication (partial and full), the LINX magnetic device, transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), and radiofrequency ablation (Stretta). Dr. Shouhed explains the advantages and drawbacks of each procedure, and why partial fundoplication remains the most common surgical treatment for reflux disease. The video also walks through diagnostic testing such as endoscopy, pH studies, and esophageal manometry, as well as what patients can expect during recovery, dietary adjustments, and long-term follow-up. With extensive experience in minimally invasive and robotic foregut surgery, Dr. Shouhed provides a clear overview of GERD management and the surgical options available for patients seeking lasting relief from reflux.
