GERD and LINX
Understanding GERD Treatments in Northern Virginia
For patients struggling with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) traditional treatments not provide relief. GERD is a persistent condition that can significantly impact your quality of life. GERD occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, the tube connecting your mouth and stomach. Reflux becomes a disease when it causes frequent or severe symptoms or injury. Persistent reflux may cause damage to the esophagus, pharynx, or respiratory tract. Conventional GERD treatments in Reston often involve medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). But if these haven’t provided the relief you need, LINX surgery could be a game-changer.
Dr. Joe Greene is a top bariatric surgeon in Virginia, with extensive training and experience on the Intuitive DaVinci Surgical System for both Bariatric and General surgical procedures, including hernia repair, anti-reflux surgery, stomach surgery, and gallbladder surgery. This innovative approach may offer patients several potential benefits, including reduced pain, faster recovery times, and improved cosmetic outcomes.

What is LINX Surgery?
The LINX Reflux Management System is a revolutionary, minimally invasive surgical treatment specifically designed for GERD. During LINX surgery, a small flexible band of titanium beads is placed around the lower esophageal sphincter. The LINX surgery device is designed to restore the body’s natural barrier. This tiny yet powerful band effectively controls the opening of the esophagus, allowing food to pass through while preventing the backflow of stomach fluids into the esophagus.
Successful LINX Surgery to Stop GERD
Many patients are searching for GERD treatment in Reston. One of the remarkable aspects of LINX surgery with Dr. Joe Greene is its efficiency. The entire procedure typically takes no more than an hour. Many patients can return home the next day, resuming their regular diet shortly after. Studies on LINX surgery have shown impressive results, with 90 percent of patients reporting a significant improvement in their reflux symptoms. What’s even more promising is that many of these patients were able to discontinue their medications a year after undergoing LINX treatment.

Accuracy Optimizes the Benefits of Robotic Surgery
As stated, a major benefit of robotic surgery is the increased precision and control. The technology used in robotic bariatric surgery in Virginia allows for the execution of complex procedures with incredible accuracy. Robotic procedures utilize a high-definition 3D camera to magnify the surgical field for the surgeons. Surgeons have an enhanced, magnified view of the surgical site on a screen nearby. The procedure is performed through external surgical hand controls. The surgeon sits at a console and manipulates robotic arms equipped with tiny surgical instruments, directing the surgical tools at the operation site.
