How to heal lower esophageal sphincter to make it tighter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: It depends on exact pathology. Generally a gastric wrap (fundoplication) of some type. If a hiatal hernia is present it should be repaired at the same time. Procedure should be done by experienced minimally invasive surgeon. http://goo.gl/0rrqv.
