Laparoscopic Fundoplication – Gold Standard for GERD

Laparoscopic Fundoplication is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia. It involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach (fundus) around the lower esophagus to reinforce the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), preventing stomach acid from refluxing into the esophagus.

This procedure is performed using small incisions and a camera (laparoscope), leading to less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, and quicker return to normal activities compared to open surgery.

Conditions Treated

• Chronic Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
• Hiatal hernia with reflux symptoms
• Refractory heartburn not controlled by medication
• Barrett's esophagus (to prevent progression)
• Regurgitation, chest pain, and respiratory symptoms from acid reflux

Key Benefits of Laparoscopic Fundoplication

• Long-term relief from GERD symptoms
• Reduced or eliminated need for acid-suppressing medications
• Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
• Improved quality of life and sleep
• Reduced risk of reflux-related complications (esophagitis, stricture, Barrett's)

Common Symptoms of GERD & Hiatal Hernia

• Persistent heartburn (burning sensation in the chest)
• Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
• Chest pain or discomfort
• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
• Chronic cough, hoarseness, or asthma-like symptoms
• Sensation of a lump in the throat
