Linx After Fundoplication?

Posted by garrym @garrym, Sep 22, 2018

I had a fundoplication over a decade ago and have been on Dexilant to avoid reflux, but I get occasional reflux incidences. I had manometry done 3 years ago after I complained of the reflux, and I was told that the wrap had loosened but was not appropriate

I just learned about the Linx device, which appears to be more efficient than fundoplication. Can the Linx be used in a patient with a fundoplication? If so, are there any special considerations?

Thanks in advance for any information.

I’m so pleased to hear they can undo a Nissan Fundiplication and use the LINX for you. I had the LINX procedure in September 2018 and had the same experience. Where did you have it done. I went to USC.

I had it at Sharp Grossmont Hospital, where I work, in La Mesa CA, San Diego east county. My wonderful surgeon is Dr Helen Sohn our resident LINX expert. There is a nation wide system of physicians that specializes in this procedure and Dr Sohn is part of it.
