Robotic Upper Gastrointestinal, 
Gastric reflux surgery, also known as anti-reflux surgery or fundoplication, is an effective treatment for chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation, discomfort, and long-term complications. This procedure is designed to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and prevent acid reflux by wrapping the top part of the stomach around the lower esophagus.

Performed using advanced laparoscopic techniques, this minimally invasive surgery requires only small incisions, reducing both recovery time and the risk of complications. A/Prof. Apostolou will mobilise the stomach and oesophagus, repair the hiatal hernia and then carefully wraps the upper part of the stomach around the lower oesophagus, creating a new valve that prevents acid from moving back into the oesophagus. This procedure is highly effective for patients who do not find relief with medications or who experience frequent flare-ups.
Sometimes there is a little chest pain in the first couple of days, but most people don’t need much pain relief by the time they go home a few days after surgery.
Diet will gradually progress from fluids, to puree, soft foods, and eventually normal food over a period of a few weeks. After keyhole surgery, your stitches are usually dissolving, and there are some small dressings that are removed after 2 weeks or so.
