Laparoscopic Fundoplication Surgery for
Gastroesophageal at World Best Hospitals in India
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) describes
the condition where contents of the stomach,
including stomach acid, leak back into the
esophagus, irritating and even damaging the
lining of the esophagus. Food and liquids are
carried along the esophagus from the mouth to the
stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter muscle,
situated at the end of the esophagus, normally
closes off the stomach.
Symptoms of GERD include heartburn or a burning
sensation in the chest, a feeling that food is
stuck, nausea after eating, difficulty swallowing
and hiccups. Experiencing these symptoms several
times in a week can indicate you may have GERD.
Causes include hiatal hernia, obesity, and
conditions that cause an excess of stomach acid.

Laparoscopic Fundoplication Surgery for
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in India
A laparoscopic Fundoplication is a minimally
invasive approach that involves specialized video
equipment and instruments that allow a surgeon to
perform the procedure through four tiny
incisions, most of which are less than a
half-centimetre in size. One advantage of this
method is a brief hospitalization. Most of the
time it will require an overnight stay. Other
advantages include less pain (less of a need for
pain medication), fewer and smaller scars, and a
shorter recovery time.
Fundoplication is a safe and effective treatment
of GORD. However, in rare cases the laparoscopic
approach is not possible because it becomes
difficult to visualize or handle organs
effectively.

Hiatal Hernia
A hiatal hernia is an anatomical abnormality in
which part of the stomach protrudes through the
diaphragm and up into the chest. Although hiatal
hernias are present in approximately 15 of the
population, they are associated with symptoms in
only a minority of those afflicted. Normally, the
esophagus or food tube passes down through the
chest, crosses the diaphragm, and enters the
abdomen through a hole in the diaphragm called
the esophageal hiatus. Just below the diaphragm,
the esophagus joins the stomach.

Laparoscopic (Key Hole) Hiatal Hernia Surgery in
India
The procedure is often done 'laparoscopically'
through five small (1.5 cm) cuts (incisions) in
your abdomen. The video camera and special
instruments are then inserted through the
incisions to do the repair. You may undergo a
"Nissen" Hiatal Hernia procedure where the
stomach is wrapped around the lower end of the
esophagus to tighten up the sphincter.
Occasionally, the surgeon is unable to do the
procedure laparoscopically and must convert to
open surgery in order to make it safer for you.
In this case, you will have an incision in the
middle of your abdomen and your recovery will be
longer.
