Overview

About Laparoscopic/ Robotic Fundoplication & Hellers Myotomy

Fundoplication is an anti-reflux operation in which the top of the stomach is wrapped around the lower oesophagus to prevent acid reflux (GERD).

Heller's cardiomyotomy releases the tight lower oesophageal muscle in achalasia cardia to restore normal swallowing.

Both procedures are performed laparoscopically or robotically with excellent long-term symptom control.
