Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to alleviate chronic acid reflux (GERD). By wrapping the top part of the stomach around the lower esophagus, it effectively strengthens the esophageal sphincter, preventing reflux.
This procedure is performed using a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera, inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. This technique allows for precise surgery with minimal disruption, leading to quicker recovery times and reduced post-operative discomfort.
Patients typically experience significant relief from acid reflux symptoms following a Laparoscopic Nissen procedure. Benefits include a decrease in heartburn, improved digestion, and a return to normal eating habits, all contributing to a markedly enhanced quality of life.
Ideal candidates for a Laparoscopic Nissen procedure are individuals suffering from chronic acid reflux or GERD, who have not found relief through medication or lifestyle changes. Our comprehensive evaluation ensures this treatment aligns with your health goals and lifestyle.
The recovery period varies for each patient, but most can expect to return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks post-surgery. Complete recovery, including the ability to engage in strenuous activities, may take up to 6 weeks.
Post-surgery, patients will start with a liquid diet, gradually transitioning to soft foods, and eventually, within a few weeks, return to a normal diet. Your surgical team will provide detailed dietary guidelines to ensure a smooth transition and optimal healing.
Most patients can return to their pre-surgery diet and lifestyle. However, it's recommended to maintain a healthy weight, avoid heavy lifting, and consult your doctor before resuming vigorous activities. Dietary modifications and certain lifestyle changes, such as elevating the head while sleeping, may also be advised to support long-term wellness.
