Surgery

When more conservative treatment methods are not effective in treating your cardiovascular condition, heart and vascular surgery may be necessary. In these cases, our cardiovascular surgeons are equipped to perform procedures such as bypass surgery and vascular stenting. We also offer advanced varicose vein treatments.

GERD is a chronic condition that causes stomach contents to reflux (wash backward) into the esophagus. This often results in long-term heartburn and possible injury to the esophageal lining. Your physician may recommend surgery as a personalized treatment option for you.

Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF)

TIF is a minimally invasive procedure that helps relieve discomfort associated with GERD symptoms. Our GERD specialists use TIF to treat the root cause of GERD. By treating the condition and not the symptoms, the TIF procedure helps prevent acids from refluxing into the esophagus while still allowing for venting of air and gases.

Some benefits of this procedure may include a faster recovery time compared to traditional surgeries, as well as minimal incisions and less visible scars.

You may be a potential candidate for the TIF procedure if you have chronic acid reflux and your conditions are well managed through PPI therapy.

Combined hiatal hernia repair and TIF procedure

A hiatal hernia is when the upper part of your stomach bulges through the large muscle separating your abdomen and diaphragm. This will contribute significantly to acid reflux. Surgical repair of the hiatal hernia and endoscopic repair of the lower esophageal sphincter is a less invasive approach than surgery alone.

If you require surgery to treat your neurological conditions, we provide advanced spinal surgeries, tumor removal and neuroendovascular procedures. When possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to minimize complications and recovery time.

One of the highlights of our surgery program is the use of minimally invasive equipment and robotic instruments. This allows our surgeons to perform complex and delicate procedures with precision. Our surgical team receives continued training on the use of these instruments, staying up-to-date on the latest developments in surgical technology.
