How to do fundoplication surgery

Gastric fundoplication is a laparoscopic surgery, which is less invasive and the patient recovers faster. The whole procedure of gastric fundoplication includes: preoperative examination, intraoperative operation and postoperative care. 1. Preoperative examination: Before the operation, patients need to check the blood routine, liver routine, kidney routine, coagulation function and other tests, and clean the surgical site and other preparatory work in advance. 2. Intraoperative operation: after successful general anesthesia and disinfection, firstly make an incision in the upper abdomen, establish a laparoscopic channel, find the abdominal esophagus to draw out, then repair the foot of the diaphragm, wrap the fundus of the stomach around the esophagus, make a suture to fix it, and finally suture the abdomen. The purpose is to tighten the cardia orifice, and at the same time to establish a folding flap in the stomach to block gastric acid and play a role in preventing gastric reflux into the esophagus. 3. Post-operative care: patients will have complications after the operation, such as flatulence, difficulty in swallowing, etc. This is a normal phenomenon, which will be relieved in about 2 weeks, and it is recommended to choose liquid food. After the operation, the wound should be changed regularly to prevent infection.
