At netcare Linksfield Hospital, Foregut Surgery is performed using specialized upper gastrointestinal surgical techniques and comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. Established in 1991, this COHSASA accredited hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 319 beds and offers advanced gastrointestinal, bariatric, thoracic, and minimally invasive surgical services.

Foregut Surgery may be considered when medical treatment or less invasive approaches do not adequately manage certain disorders of the esophagus or stomach. The specific procedure depends on the underlying condition and may include anti-reflux surgery, hiatal hernia repair, Heller myotomy, esophageal or gastric resection, or other reconstructive procedures. Preoperative evaluation may include endoscopy, imaging, manometry, pH testing, and other investigations when clinically indicated.
