💎 LINX Treatment for GERD – Explained by Dr Shanker Pasupathy

Struggling with heartburn or acid reflux that doesn’t improve with medication?
The LINX system offers a modern, minimally-invasive solution for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).

A small ring of magnetic titanium beads is placed around the lower end of your oesophagus. These magnets gently attract each other, keeping the valve closed to prevent stomach acid from flowing back up — yet separate easily when you swallow, allowing food and liquid to pass normally.

The LINX device is implanted through keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery and becomes a permanent reinforcement of your natural anti-reflux barrier. Most patients go home the next day and experience quick relief from reflux symptoms — without long-term dependence on medication.

✨ A simple magnetic ring, restoring natural control over reflux.

🎓 Teaching Faculty at the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) Workshop 🎓

We’re proud to share that Dr Shanker Pasupathy was invited as teaching faculty and proctor at the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) Workshop organised by Boston Scientific.

As part of the training, Dr Shanker guided fellow doctors on the use of the ESG device, demonstrating the step-by-step technique and sharing valuable insights on performing the procedure safely and effectively.

Workshops like these play a vital role in advancing skills and knowledge in minimally invasive weight-management procedures, helping more patients benefit from innovative, endoscopic approaches to metabolic health.

A huge thank-you to Boston Scientific for this wonderful initiative, and to all the participants for your enthusiasm and commitment to learning! 💙
