However, any type of surgery, surgery for GERD is the last resort of every doctor. There are several methods of dealing with acid reflux or prevent Barrett's esophagus with GERD surgery. There have been studies that have shown that some patients with GERD surgery may find the need to re-use of antireflux medications.
More than one million of GERD patients are not able to solve their health problems with medical therapy alone acid reflux. Most often these people can be helped a bit 'with GERD surgery.

There are several surgical procedures, one is called Nissen fundoplication. In this surgery, GERD, the bottom (body) of the stomach is wrapped around the LES (lower esophageal sphincter) for two main purposes. This adds enough pressure on the LES to prevent acid reflux, while food and fluids to pass through. Also to find and repair any hiatal hernia. There are two types of this surgery for GERD. One is an open and laparoscopic surgery is closed. This intervention has proven useful in aiding digestion and elimination of acid reflux in some patients, while others may need anti-reflux medications and some can submit new digestive symptoms. With GERD open fundoplication surgery, the patient will spend 6-10 days in the hospital for recovery.
Laparoscopic surgery for GERD is safe even for infants and young children. This is due to the fact that it is open (which requires a large incision) and a faster recovery with fewer complications than any open GERD surgery that can infect other problems that may occur with any surgery.
