GERD Surgery: Fundoplication [VIDEO]

Fundoplication surgery may be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms that have not been well controlled by medicines. In fundoplication surgery, the upper curve of the stomach Click here to see an illustration. (the fundus) is wrapped around the esophagus and sewn into place to strengthen the valve between the esophagus and stomach (lower esophageal sphincter).

This 3D medical animation on GERD Surgery shows how the upper portion of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to strengthen the cardiac sphincter of the stomach. This helps prevent GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), or heartburn. Hiatal hernia repair is also depicted.

Invasive Surgery Procedure for Chronic Heartburn [VIDEO]

For most people, heartburn is a treatable symptom. Frequent heartburn may indicate acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD. When treatment doesn't work and heartburn is severe despite lifestyle changes, surgery may be an option. It may also be an option if GERD causes other medical problems. Minimally invasive procedures using endoscopy are also available to treat acid reflux.

Minimally invasive procedures using endoscopy are also available to treat acid reflux.

Most people, if not everyone, considering surgery for GERD will first undergo endoscopy. Many will also have tests to check the muscle function of the esophagus. These tests can include esophageal manometry and esophageal motility studies.

The EsophyX TIF procedure reduces hiatal hernia and creates a valve between the stomach and esophagus restoring the natural, physiological anatomy to prevent gastroesophageal reflux. Because the procedure is incisionless, there is reduced pain, reduced recovery and no visible scar. The EsophyX TIF procedure represents the next step in the revolution of surgery. Del Sol brings this technology so that those who have suffered with reflux in the past, can now better enjoy life.

Gallbladder Surgery VIDEO

What peoples says:

Had my GB removed a week ago. Pain lasted a few days but nothing that paracetamol couldn't deal with. Still have the staples which should be removed in 3 days from now. I didn't want this operation but after 4 seizures my wife got fed-up with taking me to the emergency services in the middle of the night and insisted I take the doctor's advice. Feel much better now! Glad I had it done.
If you have a GB stone/s causing you trouble, don't hesitate, just get it done.

Before you consider doing this operation you should find out what happens when you no longer have this important organ. You need to be rid of the STONES, not the gallbladder. This can be done simply at home with nothing more than epsom salts, olive oil and grapefruit. I had a severe attack of gallstones but refused surgery and got the stones out myself. I am 100% recovered. Google liver cleanse if you want to know more.
