GERD / Acid Reflux Treatment in Austin

GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, causing persistent heartburn, regurgitation, and irritation of the esophageal lining. While lifestyle changes and medications may help control symptoms, some patients continue to experience chronic reflux that affects daily comfort and sleep quality.

At Capital Surgeons Group, our surgeons provide advanced GERD and acid reflux treatment in Austin using minimally invasive procedures such as hiatal hernia repair, fundoplication, and the LINX Reflux Management System. These treatments are designed to reduce reflux, restore normal digestive function, and help patients achieve long-term symptom relief.

Acid Reflux Surgery / Hiatal Hernia Repair / LINX

When stomach acid flows up into the esophagus, it causes acid reflux. Chronic or severe acid reflux is called GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Depending on its severity, there are several options for GERD treatment. Surgery is a minimally invasive and durable option to stop acid reflux and eliminate the need for medication.

Hiatal hernia is often caused by weakened muscles and tissue around the hiatus. In some cases, a small part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm and up into the chest. Surgical repair involves tightening the opening in the diaphragm to prevent the stomach from bulging through the muscle wall.

Why Choose Surgery for Chronic GERD?

Patients with heartburn often still have symptoms despite being on medication, even if taken once or twice a day, or even double the dose. Others have acid regurgitation to the mouth or throat, belching, and dry cough. Night-time regurgitation may cause poor quality of sleep.

Surgery eliminates heartburn and regurgitation, improves sleep quality, and ends life-long dependence on acid-blocking medications and dietary compromises to avoid symptoms.

Surgical Options to Eliminate Reflux Disease

Our surgeons perform laparoscopic and robotic anti-reflux surgery. Hiatal hernia repair, Nissen or toupet fundoplication, and the LINX Reflux Management System are standard surgical options to eliminate GERD.

These options offer successful treatment with surgical precision and faster recovery, and patients can go home the same day as surgery in most cases.

Diagnostic Testing for GERD

Patients may undergo several diagnostic tests before reflux surgery, including:

pH testing – Measures the amount of stomach acid reaching the esophagus
EGD endoscopy – Examines the esophagus and stomach for hiatal hernia or reflux damage
Manometry – Measures pressure and muscle function of the esophagus
Barium Swallow – Uses imaging to evaluate the esophagus, stomach, and hiatal hernia size
