About Anti-Reflux Surgery
Anti-reflux surgery is designed to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus. The most common procedure is laparoscopic fundoplication, where the upper part of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the lower esophagus to create a valve mechanism.

- Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication - 360-degree wrap, gold standard for GERD
- Laparoscopic Toupet Fundoplication - 270-degree partial wrap
- Robotic Anti-Reflux Surgery - da Vinci robotic precision for complex cases
