Sun Speciality Clinic, Coimbatore provides advanced Anti-Reflux Surgery under the expertise of Dr. K. Balu (Surgical Gastroenterologist & Minimally Invasive Surgeon). Anti-reflux surgery is designed to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, chronic cough, and swallowing difficulties. At Sun Speciality Clinic, we offer minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic anti-reflux procedures, ensuring smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery, and long-term relief from reflux symptoms. Surgery is recommended for patients who do not respond to medications, have complications like esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus, or prefer a permanent solution.
With years of experience in advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, Dr. K. Balu ensures precise repair of the lower esophageal sphincter and hiatal hernia, restoring normal esophageal function. Sun Speciality Clinic is recognized as a leading center for anti-reflux surgery in Coimbatore and Tamil Nadu, combining expert surgical care with personalized patient management.
