We have been performing laparoscopic antireflux surgery since 1991, and have performed over 1600 procedures to date. We perform over 150 laparoscopic and transoral antireflux operations annually, including surgery for patients with recurrent reflux and complex hiatal hernias.
We have been performing the EsophyX Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication since November 2008, and have completed over 80 cases as of April 2010. We have the largest experience performing this procedure in the Rocky Mountain region. We regularly train other physicians in the procedure and have visited Europe to train physicians there as well. In January 2010 we hosted a course attended by over 100 physicians from all over the world to demonstrate our technique.
In addition to this experience, we have published papers on our technique and results. Dr. Bell regularly teaches in the seminars Sandhill Scientific, a manufacturer of esophageal testing devices, provides for physicians and nurses.
As importantly, we are able to perform and/or interpret the tests that are part of the evaluation of GERD. Dr. Bell performs upper endoscopy when needed, and interprets impedance and pH testing based upon consultation with each patient - something not commonly found these days, especially in a surgical practice. This depth of experience enables us, we think, to provide thoughtful and personal recommendations to patients based upon listening, and interpreting information based upon listening.
