Often GERD can be managed with medication 💊and lifestyle changes 🥗 however, there are cases where surgery may be the best option for long-term relief.

Fundoplication is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that treats GERD by folding the top part of the stomach, fundus, and sewing it around the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This helps prevent stomach acid from entering the esophagus.

Our surgeons are experts in treating GERD and performing the fundopolication procedure. Contact us today if you need surgery for GERD.

In many cases, gallstones don’t cause any symptoms, but if a gallstone blocks one of the bile ducts you may experience pain and vomiting.

Gallstones can go away on their own, but if they start to obstruct the flow of bile for long periods of time, removing the gallbladder, a cholecystectomy, may be the best treatment option.🏥

Contact ALA if you think you may need a cholecystectomy.
