Service Details
This procedure treats hiatal hernias and reflux disease when medication no longer controls symptoms. Several small incisions allow the surgeon to insert the laparoscope and instruments, free the esophagus, pull the stomach back into the abdomen, tighten the opening in the diaphragm, and often perform a fundoplication by wrapping the upper stomach around the lower esophagus.
Benefits
- Significant relief of reflux-related symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation.
- Small incisions with less postoperative pain and scarring.
- Improved swallowing and overall quality of life.
- Typically short hospital stay and relatively quick recovery.
