Objective testing to confirm reflux, measure its severity, and rule out other causes.
- Symptom & medication history review
- Upper gastroscopy
- Esophageal manometry
- 24-hour pH & impedance study
Definitive laparoscopic treatment for chronic acid reflux and hiatal hernia, including natural valve reconstruction for patients whose symptoms persist despite medication.
For chronic heartburn, regurgitation, and reflux that no longer responds to medication.
Reflux surgery is only recommended once objective testing confirms the diagnosis, so the operation addresses the actual cause of your symptoms.
At Elwahidi Clinic in Amman, reflux and hiatal hernia cases are managed through a structured, three-phase clinical pathway.
Objective testing to confirm reflux, measure its severity, and rule out other causes.
Laparoscopic closure of the hiatal defect and repositioning of the stomach below the diaphragm.
A staged return to normal eating, with follow-up to confirm symptom control off medication.
A01 Reflux Diagnosis & Assessment
Full assessment of chronic reflux using upper gastroscopy, esophageal manometry, and 24-hour pH and impedance monitoring, coordinated so the diagnosis is confirmed objectively before any surgical decision is made.
B02 Hiatal Hernia & Valve Reconstruction
Keyhole repair of the diaphragmatic opening, returning the stomach to its correct position below the diaphragm and closing the defect that allows acid to travel upward.
Reconstruction of the natural valve between the esophagus and stomach using modern technique, restoring the body's own anti-reflux barrier rather than relying on lifelong medication.
C03 Refractory & Revisional Reflux
Surgical assessment for patients whose reflux persists despite maximal medical therapy, including evaluation and surveillance of reflux-related Barrett's esophagus.
Corrective surgery for recurrent hiatal hernia or returning reflux after a previous operation, requiring detailed re-assessment and advanced reconstructive technique.
Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair and natural valve reconstruction, including BICORN.
Dr. Ahmed Elwahidi welcomes surgical consultations for patients seeking precise evaluation, treatment planning, and advanced surgical care in Amman.
