Persistent heartburn, regurgitation and acid reflux not controlled by medicines? Laparoscopic fundoplication and hiatus hernia repair by Dr. Vikeerna Bharti, MS Surgery, PGIMER Chandigarh — at Samford Hospital, Kokar Chowk, Ranchi.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when acid from the stomach regularly flows back up into the oesophagus (food pipe). This causes the familiar burning sensation (heartburn) behind the breastbone. While many people manage GERD with daily antacids, surgery may reduce dependence on long-term medication in properly selected patients, particularly those with a hiatus hernia.
Dr. Vikeerna Bharti performs Laparoscopic Fundoplication at Samford Super Speciality Hospital, Kokar Chowk, Ranchi — providing lasting relief for GERD patients in Jharkhand.
Dr. Bharti performs Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication — keyhole surgery where the upper part of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped 360° around the lower end of the oesophagus. This creates a new, reinforced valve that prevents acid from flowing back into the food pipe.
A hiatus hernia (part of the stomach slipping up through the diaphragm) is a common cause of severe GERD. Laparoscopic fundoplication also repairs the hiatus hernia at the same operation, addressing the root cause to provide durable relief.

Surgery for acid reflux (GERD) is recommended when symptoms are not controlled by medication, when the patient seeks durable symptom relief without daily tablets in properly selected cases, or when a hiatus hernia is identified as the cause. Dr. Vikeerna Bharti performs laparoscopic fundoplication at Samford Hospital, Kokar Chowk, Ranchi.
Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is a keyhole procedure where the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower oesophagus, creating a new reinforced valve to prevent acid reflux. It is performed through 4 tiny incisions with a 2–3 day hospital stay and may provide long-term symptom control in properly selected patients.
Laparoscopic fundoplication provides long-term control of acid reflux in most properly selected patients. Many are able to reduce or stop daily acid-suppressing medication after full recovery, though results vary between individuals. It is a recognised surgical option for medically refractory GERD.
Hospital stay is typically 2–3 days. Soft diet for 4–6 weeks during healing. Return to office work in 2–3 weeks. Full normal activity in 4–6 weeks. Dr. Bharti provides detailed dietary and recovery instructions at Samford Hospital, Ranchi.
A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest, causing severe acid reflux. Large or symptomatic hiatus hernias causing significant reflux, difficulty swallowing or respiratory symptoms generally require surgical repair — laparoscopic fundoplication with hiatus hernia repair.
