Reflux and GERD.

Tampa Bay Reflux Institute’s goal is to educate patients and their medical providers regarding the latest advances in reflux management. By focusing on one disease process, Dr. Grandhige has become a national expert in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of typical GERD and its atypical variants such as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR/Silent Reflux).

Robotic fundoplications, the LINX reflux management system, and the endoscopic transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF/EsophyX®) technique are three cutting-edge anti-reflux surgical methods that Dr. Grandhige has refined in order to provide long-term solutions for his patients who are struggling with persistent acid reflux (GERD) and Laryngopharyngeal reflux. He is the only board-certified surgeon in the Tampa Bay area that performs all three of these procedures with regularity. He has devoted over a decade to the process of developing individualized treatment strategies for each of his patients that are based on their particular constellation of symptoms and anatomic and physiologic abnormalities. He has performed over 600 fundoplications, over 600 LINX procedures and over 200 TIF procedures.

Surgical Treatment options for GERD

Fundoplications

The Fundoplication is an outpatient surgical operation performed robotically or laparoscopically aimed to prevent acid reflux by reinforcing a weak lower esophageal sphincter with the patient’s stomach, creating a lower esophageal acid barrier.

LINX Reflux Management System

The LINX® System is an outpatient procedure that consists of a thin, flexible band of magnetic beads encased in titanium that is inserted robotically or laparoscopically around the lower esophageal sphincter. The magnetic attraction between the beads increases the opening pressure of the LES, assisting a weak sphincter complex preventing reflux.

TIF (EsophyX®)

Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication is the most successful endoscopic, incision-free procedure used to reconstruct, a weak lower esophageal sphincter technique that offers patients a method of anatomically strengthening their weak sphincter minimize the occurrence of acid reflux.
