LINX surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It involves implanting a small flexible ring of magnetic beads around the lower esophageal sphincter, which helps prevent acid reflux while allowing food to pass through. The magnetic attraction between the beads keeps the sphincter closed, preventing stomach acid from entering the esophagus. LINX surgery offers a long-lasting solution for GERD, improving symptoms and reducing the need for medication.
