The surgical procedure: During fundoplication surgery, the upper curve of the stomach (the fundus) is wrapped around the oesophagus and sewn into place so that the lower portion of the oesophagus passes through a small tunnel of stomach muscle. This surgery strengthens the valve between the oesophagus and stomach, which stops the acid from backing up into the oesophagus as easily. This allows the oesophagus to heal. This procedure can be done through the abdomen or the chest. The chest approach is often used if a person is overweight or has a short oesophagus and this procedure is often done using a laparoscopic surgical technique. Outcomes of the laparoscopic technique are best when the surgery is done by a surgeon with experience using this procedure.
