Understanding Laparoscopic Fundoplication
Laparoscopic fundoplication is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The surgery involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophageal sphincter to strengthen it, preventing acid reflux. This procedure is highly effective in reducing GERD symptoms and improving quality of life.

Common Indications for Laparoscopic Fundoplication

  • Persistent GERD: Persistent acid reflux requiring long term use of PPI
  • Hiatus Hernia: When the stomach bulges into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm.
  • Esophagitis: Inflammation of the esophagus due to acid reflux.
  • Barrett’s Esophagus: Pre-cancerous changes in the esophagus lining due to chronic acid exposure.

Procedure Overview

  • Preparation: Patients may need to fast and undergo preoperative tests. Patients are evaluated extensively with UGI Endoscopy, Manometry, 24- PH Metry and sometimes CT Abdomen to assess how much surgery will help the patient.
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure.
  • Incisions: Small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert the laparoscope and surgical instruments.
  • Fundoplication: The surgeon wraps the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus and secures it with stitches.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Fundoplication

  • Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions lead to quicker recovery and less postoperative pain.
  • Effective Symptom Relief: Significant reduction in GERD symptoms.
  • Shorter Hospital Stay: Most patients can go home after a short hospital stay.
