Acid reflux is a serious issue, and should be looked at whenever required. The right treatment for acid reflux is usually nissen fundoplication, and has proved to be one of the successful treatments for the disease. GERD can be treated and cured if taken care of in early stages. In this blog we talk about what is acid reflux, what is Nissen Fundioplication, What are the surgical solutions required for GERD, and How can Sohana hospital help me with acid reflux.
Acid reflux is a condition where stomach acid flows upward into the esophagus and throat, causing irritation. It happens when a muscle valve called the lower esophageal sphincter weakens or relaxes when it should not.
A Nissen fundoplication is a surgical operation used to treat severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias. A surgeon wraps the upper part of the stomach (the fundus) completely around the lower end of the esophagus. This creates a tight new valve that stops stomach acid from flowing back up. This helps in treating the excess acid coming up into the lower esophagus. Acid reflux treatment can tell you what is the best way to approach nisse fundoplication.
Surgical solutions for severe or treatment-resistant gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) include laparoscopic fundoplication, the LINX device, and transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF). Common Anti-Reflux treatments include Laparoscopic Fundoplication and robotic fundoplication. Robotic being minimally invasive, it provides benefits like
=> Less Pain

* Is fundoplication a serious surgery?
While fundoplication is a major operation, it’s routine and usually done with small cuts using robotic surgery. Key factors include general anesthesia, an overnight hospital stay, and a recovery period of several weeks adjusting your diet.
* How painful is Nissen fundoplication recovery?
Recovery pain after a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is usually mild to moderate, featuring soreness around small belly cuts, temporary shoulder discomfort, and mild chest tightness. Management of pain includes prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers that control the discomfort well during the first few days. Short, gentle walks help clear out trapped gas and reduce overall body aches.
* Can you still vomit after fundoplication?
Most people cannot vomit after a fundoplication because the surgical wrap acts as a tight, one-way valve. People when feeling sick, experience nausea, or dry heaving. Over many years, the wrap can loosen, which may slowly restore the ability to vomit or burp.
