At the beginning of treatment for “Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease”, patients often choose antacid medication to reduce symptoms. If symptoms persist and patients do not respond to treatment, or if patients do not want to take medication to control symptoms continuously, “esophageal sphincter surgery” becomes an option for treating acid reflux… which can solve the problem at its root and precisely!
<h2>Heartburn, sour belching.. early symptoms of “acid reflux” 
</h2>
Acid reflux (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease : GERD) is a condition where “acid” or acidic stomach juices flow back into the esophagus. This is caused by the lower esophageal sphincter not closing tightly, resulting in symptoms such as burning sensation in the chest, tightness, frequent belching, nausea, sour taste in the mouth and throat, sore throat, chronic cough, or difficulty swallowing.
<h2>Acid reflux.. if left chronic, may lead to serious diseases! 
</h2>
If patients have had acid reflux symptoms for a long time, it may cause esophageal ulcers, and recurrent symptoms can lead to inflammation and esophageal stricture. Additionally, the esophageal lining may change and increase the risk of “esophageal cancer” in the future. Patients will have warning Alarm Symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, or passing blood in stool. Esophageal sphincter repair surgery can prevent these complications.
Check acid reflux condition… with advanced tools If symptoms suggest acid reflux, gastroenterologists will perform diagnostic tests using the following tools:
24 hours pH monitoring is a standard diagnostic tool for acid reflux. It measures how much acid refluxes into the esophagus by inserting a small tube through the nose connected to an acid measuring device. The patient must carry the device for 24 hours to analyze the amount of acid reflux. If a high amount is found, surgery may be considered for that individual. 
Generally, 24h pH monitoring is used together with esophageal motility testing or esophageal Manometry to locate the exact position of the esophageal sphincter. This allows precise placement of the pH probe and also evaluates esophageal contractions, providing important information for surgery.
