For those struggling with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the LINX Procedure offers a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment option. At Lalezari Surgical in Los Angeles, we specialize in the LINX Procedure, utilizing this advanced technology to help patients achieve significant relief from acid reflux symptoms.
Understanding the LINX Procedure
The LINX Procedure involves the placement of a small, flexible band of magnetic titanium beads around the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This magnetic ring supports the LES, preventing the backward flow of stomach contents and acid into the esophagus while still allowing for normal swallowing and digestion. The procedure is rapidly gaining popularity due to its effectiveness and minimal invasiveness.
Benefits of the LINX Procedure
- Immediate Symptom Relief
Many patients experience significant relief from GERD symptoms shortly after the procedure.
- Preservation of Stomach Anatomy
Unlike more invasive surgeries, the LINX Procedure does not require alteration or removal of the stomach tissue.
- Quick Recovery
The procedure is performed laparoscopically, with most patients returning home the same day and resuming normal activities shortly thereafter.
- Reversible
If necessary, the LINX device can be surgically removed, an option not available with traditional GERD surgeries like Nissen Fundoplication.

What to Expect During the LINX Procedure

Includes a thorough medical evaluation and testing to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the LINX Procedure.
- During the Surgery
The LINX device is placed around the LES through a few small incisions in the abdomen. The procedure typically takes less than an hour.
- Post-Surgery Recovery
Recovery is generally quick, with most patients able to eat a normal diet soon after the surgery and return to normal activities within a few days.
Postoperative Care and Follow-Up
Following the LINX Procedure, patients will have follow-up appointments to monitor the device’s performance and to address any concerns. Dietary adjustments may be necessary immediately after the procedure, but most patients quickly return to a normal diet.
