Acid Reflux Treatment
Surgery and endoscopy treatments for GERD
Surgery and endoscopy treatments are most often pursued by people who desire to discontinue anti-acid treatment, who have symptoms that are not relieved by anti-acid treatment, or who have a hiatal hernia that is felt to contribute to symptoms.
If you have not responded to anti-acid treatment, then you are less likely than others to have a satisfactory response to a surgical treatment. Still, it can be helpful to discuss all of your options with your doctor.
