About
Dr. Basher Atiquzzaman is a pioneering surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia repair. His most significant contribution is the development and long-term validation of the robotic modified Belsey (Gastroesophageal Valvuloplasty) fundoplication, a novel procedure designed to overcome the limitations of traditional Nissen fundoplication—namely, poor durability, post-operative dysphagia, and gas bloat. In his landmark 2019 study, Dr. Atiquzzaman demonstrated that this robotic approach offers superior long-term outcomes, preserving the anti-reflux barrier while minimizing debilitating side effects. Though a niche specialty, his work has garnered 5 citations, reflecting its growing influence among foregut surgeons seeking more durable, patient-friendly solutions. By merging the precision of robotic surgery with a refined valvuloplasty technique, Dr. Atiquzzaman has not only expanded the surgical toolkit for GERD but also set a new standard for functional outcomes in anti-reflux surgery. His research continues to shape how surgeons approach complex esophageal disease, prioritizing both efficacy and quality of life.
