Evaluation

What Is Laparoscopic Fundoplication?

Laparoscopic fundoplication is a minimally invasive surgery that tightens the valve between the stomach and food pipe, preventing acid from flowing upward.

What is GERD?

GERD is a condition where acid from the stomach repeatedly flows back into the food pipe (esophagus). This causes burning in the chest (acidity/heartburn) and can disturb daily life, sleep, and long-term health.

It happens when the valve between the food pipe and stomach becomes weak, allowing acid to move upward.

Common Problems Seen in GERD?

People with GERD often experience:

  • Burning in chest (heartburn).
  • Acidity, especially after meals.
  • Sour taste in mouth.
  • Regurgitation (food/acid coming up).
  • Chronic cough or throat irritation.
  • Hoarseness of voice.
  • Chest pain
  • Bloating, burping.
  • Symptoms worsening when lying down or after heavy/oily meals.

Who Is a Candidate for Fundoplication?

  • Patients with severe or chronic GERD
  • People who respond to medicines but don’t want lifelong tablets
  • Patients with hiatal hernia
  • People whose acidity worsens when lying down
  • Those with regurgitation, chronic cough, or voice changes due to acid reflux

Treatment Options

When Is Treatment Needed?

You may need medical or surgical treatment if:

  • Symptoms occur more than 2–3 times a week
  • You depend on antacids regularly
  • Symptoms persist despite medication
  • You have difficulty swallowing or complications like esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus
