Gastroesophageal reflux surgery, or fundoplication, is performed to treat severe GERD by strengthening the barrier between the stomach and esophagus to prevent acid reflux.
Gastroesophageal reflux surgery, also known as anti-reflux surgery or fundoplication, is a procedure performed to treat severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. The surgery aims to strengthen the barrier between the stomach and esophagus to prevent acid reflux.
Why is Gastroesophageal Reflux Surgery Performed?
Gastroesophageal reflux surgery is indicated for individuals who:
Have severe, chronic GERD that does not respond to medications or lifestyle changes
Experience complications of GERD, such as esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus, or strictures
Prefer a surgical solution over long-term medication use
