Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in Moncloa-Aravaca

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition that affects many people, causing discomfort such as heartburn, chest pain, and acid regurgitation.

At the Centro Pad, located in Moncloa-Aravaca, we offer advanced treatments for GERD using minimally invasive techniques and state-of-the-art robotic surgery. If you suffer from acid reflux and have not found relief with conventional treatments, here’s how we can help improve your quality of life.

What is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)?

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a condition in which stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing a range of uncomfortable symptoms and, if left untreated, long-term damage. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is the muscle that usually keeps acid in the stomach, but in people with GERD, this sphincter does not function properly, allowing acid to escape into the esophagus.

Symptoms of GERD

Frequent heartburn.
Regurgitation of food or acidic liquids.
Chest pain or pressure.
Difficulty swallowing.
Chronic cough or a sensation of a lump in the throat.

Causes of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

GERD can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Weakness of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)
Obesity
Pregnancy
Hiatal hernia
Excessive consumption of fatty foods, caffeine, or alcohol

What Is GERD Treatment For?

The goal of GERD treatment is to relieve symptoms, prevent long-term complications, and improve the patient’s quality of life. At Centro Pad, we use laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery with the Da Vinci system as minimally invasive techniques to effectively treat gastroesophageal reflux with reduced recovery times.

Medical Treatment

In some cases, initial treatment includes medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antacids. However, when these treatments are not effective or symptoms become chronic, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Surgical Treatment

Surgical treatment for GERD usually involves procedures like fundoplication. This technique consists of wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to prevent acid reflux.

Robotic Surgery and Minimally Invasive Techniques for GERD

Robotic Surgery with the Da Vinci System

At Centro Pad, we use robotic surgery with the Da Vinci system, which allows us to perform highly precise and controlled procedures through minimal incisions. This system provides 3D imaging and a detailed view of complex areas, improving surgical outcomes and reducing the risk of complications.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Thanks to minimally invasive techniques, procedures such as laparoscopic fundoplication can be performed through small incisions, reducing postoperative pain and speeding up recovery. These methods involve minimal tissue trauma, allowing patients to return to their daily activities in a short period of time.

Who Is a Candidate for GERD Treatment?

GERD treatment is recommended for individuals who experience severe or chronic symptoms, such as persistent heartburn, that do not respond to conventional therapies. Additionally, patients with GERD-related complications, such as Barrett’s esophagus or ulcers, can greatly benefit from surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

1. What is robotic surgery for treating GERD?

Robotic surgery, performed using the Da Vinci system, allows procedures to be done with high precision and minimal incisions, leading to faster and less painful recovery.

2. What are the benefits of laparoscopic surgery for GERD?

Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, which reduces postoperative pain, recovery time, and complications compared to open surgery.

3. How long does it take to recover from GERD surgery?

Thanks to minimally invasive techniques, most patients can return to daily activities within a few days, with full recovery in just a few weeks.

4. Are there any side effects after GERD treatment?

Side effects are minimal, especially with the use of minimally invasive techniques. Some pain or discomfort may occur, but it is effectively managed with medication.

5. Is GERD treatment permanent?

Yes, most patients experience significant symptom improvement after treatment, especially when minimally invasive techniques are combined with proper postoperative evaluation.
