Anti-Reflux Surgery is a surgical procedure designed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn and difficulty swallowing. The most common procedure is Nissen fundoplication, where the top of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to prevent acid reflux.

The surgery can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which reduce recovery time and complications. It is typically recommended when lifestyle changes and medications do not provide adequate relief from GERD symptoms.

Postoperative care includes monitoring for complications such as difficulty swallowing, bloating, or gas. Patients are advised to follow a bland diet and avoid heavy meals during the recovery phase.

Anti-reflux surgery can provide long-term relief from GERD symptoms, improve quality of life, and prevent complications like esophageal ulcers or strictures.
