About Laparoscopic Fundoplication Treatment
Understanding Laparoscopic Fundoplication:
Laparoscopic Fundoplication Explained:
Laparoscopic Fundoplication is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address the malfunctioning lower esophageal sphincter in GERD patients. Dr. Prasad Neelam, drawing from his extensive expertise, employs minimally invasive techniques to restore the natural function of the LES. Fundoplication involves repositioning the stomach’s fundus to create a one-way valve, preventing the backwash of stomach acid and digestive fluids into the esophagus.
Types of Fundoplication:
Dr. Prasad Neelam offers tailored solutions with two primary types of fundoplication surgeries:
- 360 degrees Nissen Fundoplication (NF): A comprehensive procedure ensuring a full wrap-around of the stomach’s fundus.
- 270 degrees Toupet Fundoplication (TP): A nuanced approach that involves a partial wrap-around, preserving the physiological integrity.
Eligibility for Laparoscopic Fundoplication:
Patient Selection Criteria:
Determining eligibility for Laparoscopic Fundoplication requires a thorough evaluation of the patient’s esophageal motility study and ambulatory 24 pH-metry. Dr. Prasad Neelam emphasizes that not all GERD patients are suitable candidates for this surgery. Only those with refractory or persistent symptoms are considered, and eligibility is determined based on meticulous examination and evaluation by a gastrosurgeon.
Post-Operative Care and Supervision:
Recovery and Dietary Guidelines:
Following Laparoscopic Fundoplication performed by Dr. Prasad Neelam, patients typically spend a night in the hospital for observation. Post-surgery, patients gradually transition from a liquid diet to solid foods over a two-week period, guided by the surgeon’s recommendations. Dr. Prasad Neelam encourages patients to adhere to dietary restrictions initially and gradually advance their dietary chart based on post-operative assessments. Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, highlighting the efficiency of the laparoscopic approach.
