Does the LINX procedure achieve similar reflux control and improve postoperative symptoms, specifically gas bloating and inability to belch, when compared to laparoscopic fundoplication?
This UK study compares two keyhole operations for severe acid reflux: standard fundoplication surgery and a magnetic ring called LINX. Researchers want to see which procedure controls reflux best and causes fewer side effects, like gas bloating and difficulty burping, to help doctors offer the best treatment in the NHS.
