Laparoscopic Fundoplication Surgery

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic acid reflux can significantly affect your quality of life. Dr. Aasima Boxwalla, a leading Consultant in Surgical Gastroenterology, G.I., and HPB Oncology, specializes in laparoscopic fundoplication surgery, offering a minimally invasive solution to treat GERD and related conditions, ensuring faster recovery, less pain, and long-term relief.

Understanding Laparoscopic Fundoplication Surgery

Laparoscopic fundoplication surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat GERD, a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn, chest pain, and potential damage to the esophagus. During the procedure, the top of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the lower esophagus and secured to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing acid reflux.

This technique is performed using small incisions and a laparoscope (a small camera) for precise visualization, reducing recovery time and minimizing surgical risks. Laparoscopic fundoplication is a preferred option for patients whose GERD symptoms cannot be controlled by medication alone or who have complications like esophagitis or a hiatal hernia.

The Role of Laparoscopic Fundoplication Surgery in Treating GERD

Laparoscopic fundoplication surgery is considered one of the most effective treatments for GERD, providing long-term relief by addressing the root cause of acid reflux. By strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter, the procedure prevents the stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus. This results in improved digestion, reduced symptoms of heartburn, and a significant improvement in overall quality of life.

Dr. Aasima Boxwalla’s expertise in laparoscopic surgery ensures precise execution of the procedure with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue, allowing for a smoother recovery and better outcomes.
