Dr. Brian Harkins offers expert gastrectomy and anti-reflux procedures to help patients achieve better digestive health. Using advanced surgical techniques and personalized care, he provides effective solutions for stomach conditions, ensuring optimal outcomes with a focus on minimally invasive approaches.
Dr. Brian Harkins offers expert care for common stomach conditions, including robotic gastrectomy, using advanced techniques for effective treatment. The stomach is an organ between your esophagus and small intestine. It is where digestion begins. It has three tasks: to store swallowed food, mix the food with stomach acids, and then send the mixture on to the small intestine.
While many stomach issues, such as indigestion and heartburn, can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications, more severe conditions require surgical intervention. These include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and stomach cancer.
For patients with gastric cancer, Dr. Harkins performs robotic partial and total gastrectomies, which allow for greater precision and minimally invasive recovery. For reflux conditions, he offers both traditional laparoscopic fundoplication and robotic-assisted fundoplication, depending on the patient’s needs.
Dr. Brian Harkins specializes in robotic-assisted stomach surgery, offering both robotic and non-robotic treatment options for reflux conditions like GERD. For patients with chronic acid reflux, laparoscopic fundoplication is a traditional approach that reinforces the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus. Additionally, the Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) procedure is a minimally invasive, endoscopic option that reconstructs the valve between the stomach and esophagus without external incisions, offering an effective alternative for select GERD patients. For greater precision and improved recovery, Dr. Harkins also offers robotic-assisted fundoplication, which allows for smaller incisions, enhanced visualization, and better control during surgery. This minimally invasive approach can reduce post-operative discomfort and shorten recovery time.
Beyond reflux treatment, Dr. Harkins provides surgical care for various stomach conditions, including gastric cancer, gastric polyps, and other complex diseases. Patients requiring gastrectomy (partial or total removal of the stomach) due to cancer or severe disease can benefit from robotic-assisted surgery, which improves precision and minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues. For advanced conditions like esophageal or gastric cancer, esophagectomy or gastrectomy may be necessary to remove affected areas and restore digestive function. These procedures require expert surgical precision and ongoing follow-up care to ensure the best possible recovery.
