Laparoscopic Fundoplication

Not All Surgeries Need Big Cuts — And You Don’t Need a Long Recovery

Relief from Acidity and Reflux — Without Lifelong Medication

Living with acid reflux or GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) can be exhausting. Heartburn, food regurgitation, and the need for daily antacids become a frustrating part of life. But it doesn’t have to be this way forever.

Laparoscopic Fundoplication is a proven surgical solution for chronic GERD — especially for patients who no longer respond to medication or want a long-term fix.

This minimally invasive procedure strengthens the lower esophageal valve by wrapping part of the stomach around it, stopping acid from flowing back into the food pipe.

When Fundoplication May Be Right for You

We recommend this surgery for patients who have:

  • Chronic GERD despite long-term medication

  • Frequent heartburn and regurgitation

  • Difficulty sleeping or eating due to reflux

  • Damage to the esophagus (esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus)

  • Hiatal hernia contributing to reflux

We’ll conduct a detailed diagnostic evaluation and only recommend surgery when it’s truly the best next step.

Is laparoscopic fundoplication permanent?

The effects are long-lasting. Most patients enjoy relief for years, and many stop needing regular reflux medications.

The surgery typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours and is done under general anesthesia.

Most patients stay for 1 to 2 days and resume light activity within a few days

You’ll start with a liquid diet, gradually moving to soft and then regular foods over a few weeks under our guidance.

Some patients may experience temporary bloating or difficulty burping, but these usually improve over time.
