Dr. Michael Latzko specializes in minimally invasive surgical treatment – that which aims to restore health and provide relief to patients coping with conditions affecting the stomach, colon, bowel, pancreas and bile ducts.
An expert in minimally invasive surgical technique, Dr. Michael Latzko also offers treatment for many common esophageal disorders, including:
· Hiatal Hernias – a condition that involves the protrusion of the stomach through an opening in the patient’s diaphragm.
· Achalasia – which affects the patient’s ability to swallow, and can result in considerable pain and discomfort.
· GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) – a disorder that can disrupt the patient’s ability to eat, sleep and exercise.
· Esophageal Diverticulum – a condition involving the protrusion of a pouch in part of the esophageal lining.
· Esophageal Cancer – a condition that can lead to anything from weight loss and trouble swallowing to worsening heartburn, indigestion and coughing.
Dr. Latzko practices at the Sebring-based Surgical Specialists.
