Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disorder where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation, heartburn, chest pain, and discomfort. While occasional acid reflux is common, GERD becomes problematic when it interferes with daily life and does not respond to lifestyle changes or medications. Untreated GERD can lead to more serious complications such as esophagitis, strictures, Barrett’s esophagus, and even esophageal cancer. In some cases, surgery becomes necessary to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter and prevent acid from flowing back. One of the most common surgical treatments is laparoscopic fundoplication, which offers long-term relief when other treatments fail.
