Finding Relief from Chronic Heartburn and Reflux (GERD)
Do you frequently experience heartburn, chest pain, regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, or a
persistent cough, especially after meals or at night? These could be symptoms of Gastroesophageal
Reflux Disease (GERD), a chronic condition where stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the
esophagus. Over time, untreated GERD can lead to serious complications, including inflammation of
the esophagus (esophagitis), strictures, and even Barrett's esophagus, which is a precursor to
esophageal cancer.
Often, GERD is associated with a Hiatus Hernia, a condition where the upper part of the stomach pushes up through a small opening (hiatus) in the diaphragm, into the chest cavity. This weakens the natural barrier (lower esophageal sphincter) that prevents acid reflux.
While lifestyle changes and medications can help, for many individuals in Bareilly suffering from severe, persistent, or complicated GERD and/or a significant hiatus hernia, Laparoscopic Fundoplication offers a durable and highly effective surgical solution.
Laparoscopic Fundoplication: A Minimally Invasive Solution
Laparoscopic Fundoplication is the gold standard surgical procedure for treating chronic Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and repairing hiatus hernias. This minimally invasive "keyhole" surgery strengthens the barrier between the esophagus and stomach, preventing acid reflux.
How Laparoscopic Fundoplication is Performed:
Under the expert care of Dr. Om Kumar Sharma, this procedure is performed through a few small incisions (typically 0.5 to 1 cm) in the abdomen. A thin tube with a camera (laparoscope) is inserted to provide a high-definition view of the surgical area on a monitor. Specialized instruments are then used to:
1. Reduce the Hiatus Hernia: If present, the part of the stomach that has protruded into the
chest
cavity is gently pulled back down into the abdomen. The weakened opening in the diaphragm may also
be narrowed (hiatal repair) to prevent recurrence.
2. Create a Fundoplication: The upper part of the stomach (fundus) is carefully wrapped
around the
lower end of the esophagus and secured, creating a new, reinforced valve. This "wrap" reinforces the
lower esophageal sphincter, preventing acid and food from refluxing back into the esophagus.
Dr. Sharma performs various types of fundoplication (e.g., Nissen, Toupet) tailored to the individual patient's anatomy and specific reflux issues.
