Anti-Reflux (GERD) Surgery in EM Bypass, Kolkata

Why Is Anti-Reflux Surgery Performed?

Anti-reflux surgery, also known as Fundoplication, is mostly performed for treating GERD when it leads to:

  • Long-term heartburn and regurgitation

  • Unrelated chest pain

  • Difficulty swallowing due to acid damage

  • Sore throat, hoarseness, or cough lasting weeks

  • Requirement of ongoing acid-suppressing medication

Surgery corrects normal digestive function and prevents chronic complications like oesophagitis, Barrett's oesophagus, or injury to the vocal cords and lungs.

How Should I Prepare for an Anti-Reflux Surgery?

Before Anti-Reflux Surgery, our experts will conduct a thorough assessment. Preparations involve:

  • Medical history evaluation and physical examination

  • Diagnostic testing such as endoscopy, pH study, or manometry

  • Fasting for a few hours before surgery

  • Medication instructions to discontinue or continue

  • Explanation of the procedure, recovery, and risks

Our staff will take their time to make sure you are well prepared and informed beforehand.

What Happens During Anti-Reflux Surgery?

We perform Fundoplication Surgery in EM Bypass, Kolkata, using the following approach:

  • You will be given general anaesthesia for a pain-free experience

  • Small incisions are made in the abdomen using a laparoscopic approach

  • Using a specialised camera as an imaging guide, the upper part of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the bottom of the food pipe (lower oesophagus)

  • This wrap strengthens the connection between the fundus and the lower oesophagus, preventing acid reflux

  • The incisions are closed carefully with stitches

What to Expect After Anti-Reflux Surgery?

After your Fundoplication Surgery in EM Bypass, Kolkata, recovery is generally smooth:

  • You need to stay in the hospital for 1–2 days

  • You will have a liquid diet first and progress to soft foods gradually

  • There may be mild bloating or swallowing problems initially

  • Most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two

  • We will provide your diet and activity plan in detail

  • Follow-up visits will be scheduled routinely to monitor good recovery

What Are the Risks or Side Effects?

While Anti-Reflux Surgery is generally considered safe, there are a few possible side effects to be aware of:

  • You might find it harder to burp or vomit after the surgery

  • Some people experience bloating or mild trouble swallowing, especially in the early days

  • Though rare, there is always a small chance of infection or bleeding

  • As with all surgeries, reactions to anaesthesia can occur
