ARMA & ERMA Treatment in Jalandhar
Searching the ARMA & ERMA treatment in Jalandhar, then Dr.Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia will make an ideal choice in regards to the treatment of anti-reflux. He is the senior and most experienced doctor in Star Hospital and has handled the cases of the anti-reflux mucosal ablation patients and has provided the patients with the desired results. ARMA and ERMA are non-surgical lax les and hiatus hernia surgeries, which are currently gaining popularity among patients, since they involve an effective alternative method of acid reflux, heartburn, and other related symptoms, and the treatment does not have a high downtime.
Anti-Reflux Mucosal Mucosectomy. Here we excise a segment of the mucosa on the valve. The valve gets tighter as the area heals and scars.
In a similar manner, ARMA, or Anti-Reflux Mucosal Ablation, involves the use of the energy of an argon to burn the surface tissue. During the healing process, the tissue shrinks, and the reflux is reduced. These are some of the endoscopic surgeries that can be achieved without any external surgery, all these are carried out with the help of the mouth with the help of an endoscope.
Anti-Reflux Mucosal Ablation Treatment
Anti-Reflux Mucosal Ablation (ARMA) is a highly innovative, minimally invasive endoscopic surgical intervention aimed at the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
ARMA is completely done through the mouth as opposed to the traditional surgeries, which needed an incision done with the help of an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera). It targets, in particular, patients with chronic acid reflux who desire to quit taking prolonged drugs (such as PPIs) but are reluctant to undergo extensive surgery.

How Does ARMA Work?
ARMA can be thought of as something like tightening your stomach valve with biological help.
- The Procedure: An endoscope is inserted by a gastroenterologist into the Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) -the valve between your food pipe and your stomach.
- The Ablation: The doctor uses a special device (mostly Argon Plasma Coagulation) to destroy (ablate) (burn) the mucosal lining of this valve.
- The Healing: This inflicts an ulcer-like wound. The body naturally heals this area in 3-6 weeks, and this results in the formation of scar tissue.
- Scar tissue turns out to be stiffer and tighter compared to normal tissue. This constricting action closes the valve, and the natural wall that keeps the stomach acid back up is brought into play again.
What is the benefit of ARMA to the Patients?
ARMA presents a median solution between medication and invasive surgery.
Medication Freedom: It is ideal with patients who are “PPI-dependent,” that is, those who respond to pills but symptoms appear right after withdrawal. ARMA enables numerous patients to cut down or even discontinue daily medication massively.
No External Scars: It is an endoscopic procedure, meaning that there are no cuts and scars on the abdomen whatsoever.
Quick healing: The majority of patients are allowed to leave the hospital the same as the next day and go back to work in 48-72 hours.
