Laparoscopic Fundoplication (Anti-reflux surgery)

Say Goodbye to Chronic Heartburn and Acid Reflux

Are you tired of the burning sensation in your chest after meals or waking up at night with acid in your throat? If medications and lifestyle changes aren’t helping, Laparoscopic Fundoplication could be the long-term solution you’ve been searching for.

What is Laparoscopic Fundoplication?

Laparoscopic Fundoplication is a minimally invasive surgery used to treat GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)—a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort.

In this procedure:

• The upper part of the stomach (the fundus) is gently wrapped around the lower end of the esophagus.

• This creates a valve-like effect that prevents acid from flowing back up, restoring the natural barrier between the stomach and esophagus.

Since it’s done laparoscopically (through small keyhole incisions), patients experience less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.

Who Needs This Surgery?

You may be a candidate for fundoplication if you:

• Have frequent or severe heartburn despite taking medications

• Experience regurgitation, sour taste, or throat irritation

• Have complications from GERD like esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus

• Want to reduce or stop long-term use of acid-suppressing medicines

Benefits of Laparoscopic Fundoplication

• Permanent relief from acid reflux and heartburn

• No need for daily acid-reducing medications

• Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) with faster recovery

• Improved sleep and better quality of life

• Reduced risk of long-term GERD complications

What to Expect

The surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours, and most patients are able to go home within 1–2 days. Recovery is smooth, and you can return to normal activities in about a week. A soft diet is recommended for a short time after surgery.
