Chronic Heartburn

Surgeons manipulate a camera and laparoscopic tools around the esophagus of a patient to correct a case of chronic heartburn in this program. It is estimated that 10% of American adults suffer from heartburn on a daily basis. Using five tiny incisions, the surgeons manipulate a camera and laparoscopic tools in order to "wrap" part of the stomach around the esophagus. The esophagus will accept this wrap to increase the "area of pressure" which keeps food and stomach acid from refluxing back up the esophagus into the mouth—causing heartburn and painful swallowing. A Discovery Channel Production. (47 minutes)
