Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The surgery involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the end of your esophagus to reinforce the lower esophageal sphincter. This method significantly reduces symptoms and improves quality of life.
