Surgery Without Incisions Available At Griffin Hospital
Surgery Without Incisions Available At Griffin Hospital
DERBY â Tens of millions of Americans suffer with daily heartburn or other symptoms of reflux such as regurgitation, chronic cough, hoarseness, and dental erosions. Until recently these people faced either lifetime of daily medications, and often incomplete resolution of their symptoms, or the risks of invasive surgery. Now they have a better option.
The new transoral incisionless fundoplication procedure, or TIF, is performed completely without incisions and is now available from Dr Leland Soto, board certified general and laparoscopic surgeon, at Griffin Hospital.
Dr Soto is one of the first specialists in the area to be trained on the TIF procedure. On Thursday, July 21, at 6:30 pm, he will talk about the range of therapy options, including how lifestyle changes may impact reflux and available medications, and describe this revolutionary step in surgery without incisions.
