| Video Discription | Before having anti-reflux surgery, it is important to be sure that you actually have GERD. The symptoms of GERD are very common and can be caused by many other problems. So how do GI doctors decide whether you have GERD? We can run a number of tests to determine if you have GERD and if surgery will help your symptoms. An upper endoscopy (EGD) looks for evidence of severe reflux. A wireless endoscopic device or a nasal endoscopic catheter both measure the acid level in the esophagus. The catheter also allow us to conduct an additional test called Impedance Testing, which can detect non-acidic reflux. Esophageal Manometry evaluates the function of the esophagus and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). An Esophagram looks at the length of the esophagus, how far reflux travels up the esophagus, and may note unexpected findings, which is all helpful for surgical planning. Finally, a Gastric Emptying Study measures how long the stomach takes to empty. I also discuss how the results of these tests tells doctors which patients are good candidates for the anti-reflux surgery and which patients shouldn't get the surgery and the reasons why.
