Antireflux surgery in JP Nagar

Anti-reflux surgery, also known as fundoplication, is a surgical procedure that helps treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing discomfort and damage over time.

There are two types of laparoscopic anti-reflux surgeries:

1. Nissen fundoplication: This is the most common type of anti-reflux surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon wraps the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to create a new valve that prevents stomach acid from flowing back up.
2. Toupet fundoplication: This procedure is similar to Nissen fundoplication, but the wrap is only partially around the esophagus, leaving a small opening on the opposite side. This allows the patient to belch and vomit more easily, while still preventing acid reflux.

Before the surgery, the patient will need to follow certain instructions to prepare for the procedure. These may include:

• Stopping certain medications that can interfere with blood clotting, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
• Fasting for a certain period of time before the surgery.
• Informing the surgeon of any allergies or medical conditions that may affect the surgery.

After the surgery, the patient will need to follow post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and recovery. These may include:

• Gradually reintroducing solid foods.
• Avoiding strenuous activity and heavy lifting for a certain period of time.
• Taking medications as prescribed by the surgeon, including painkillers and antibiotics.
• Attending follow-up appointments to monitor progress and check for any complications.
