Anti-Reflux Surgery Treatment in Noida, Delhi Ncr, Jaipur: Permanent Solution for Chronic Acidity (GERD) at Metro Group of Hospitals

Chronic acidity, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), is more than just a lifestyle inconvenience. When the valve between the esophagus and the stomach weakens, stomach acid flows backward, causing persistent heartburn and potential damage to the esophagus.

At Metro Group of Hospitals, we offer advanced Anti-Reflux Surgery (Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication) across our units in Noida, Delhi NCR (Preet Vihar & RLKC Pandav Nagar), Faridabad, Jaipur, Haridwar, and Rewari. This surgery provides a permanent solution for those who no longer find relief with medications.

What is Anti-Reflux Surgery?

The most common procedure is Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication. In this minimally invasive surgery, the upper part of the stomach (the fundus) is wrapped around the lower end of the esophagus. This reinforces the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), preventing acid from splashing back into the throat.

When is Surgery Recommended?

Our experts at Metro Hospitals recommend this procedure if you experience:

• Persistent GERD: Acidity that doesn’t improve with long-term antacids or PPIs.
• Hiatal Hernia: When part of the stomach slides into the chest cavity, causing severe reflux.
• Respiratory Issues: Chronic cough, asthma, or hoarseness caused by acid reflux.
• Barrett’s Esophagus: Pre-cancerous changes in the esophagus due to long-term acid exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. How long does the anti-reflux surgery take?

Ans: The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes under general anesthesia. Most patients are discharged within 48 hours.

Q2. Will I still have to take acidity medicines after surgery?

 Ans: The majority of patients find complete relief and can stop their daily PPIs or antacids. Your surgeon will guide you through the transition.

Q3. Is this surgery available at Metro Hospital Rewari and Haridwar?

Ans: Yes. Our Rewari and Haridwar units are fully equipped with senior GI surgeons and advanced OTs to perform laparoscopic anti-reflux procedures.

Q4. Are there any dietary changes after surgery?

Ans: For the first 2-3 weeks, a soft or liquid diet is recommended to allow the new valve to heal. After that, most patients can return to a normal, healthy diet.

Q5. Can GERD be cured permanently without daily medication?

Ans: Yes. While medications like PPIs only suppress acid production, Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication at Metro Hospitals treats the root cause by mechanically strengthening the weak valve (LES). This offers a permanent surgical cure for chronic acidity for most patients.

Q6. What is the success rate of Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux Surgery?

Ans: Clinical studies and our experience at Metro Hospital show a success rate of over 90-95%. Most patients report a complete disappearance of heartburn and acid regurgitation immediately after the procedure.

Q7. What is a Hiatal Hernia, and do I need surgery for it?

Ans: A hiatal hernia happens when the upper part of the stomach moves upward through the diaphragm and into the chest. It is a leading cause of severe GERD. At our units in Noida, Delhi, and Jaipur, we perform Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair along with Fundoplication to restore normal anatomy and stop reflux.

Q8. Can chronic acidity cause breathing problems or a persistent cough?

Ans: Yes. Acid reflux can reach the throat and be inhaled into the lungs, leading to a chronic “Reflux Cough,” asthma-like symptoms, or hoarseness. Anti-reflux surgery is highly effective in resolving these respiratory complications of GERD.

Q9. Is Laparoscopic Fundoplication safe for long-term health?

Ans: It is considered a very safe, standard procedure. At Metro Hospitals, we use modular OTs and advanced imaging to ensure precision. Our specialists, such as Dr. Padma Saxena (General Surgeon) at our RLKC unit, are experienced in managing complex gastrointestinal surgeries.

Q10. What happens if GERD is left untreated?

Ans: Untreated chronic reflux can lead to “Barrett’s Esophagus” (a pre-cancerous condition), esophageal strictures (narrowing), and severe ulcers. Timely surgical intervention at any of our Metro units in Rewari, Faridabad, or Haridwar can prevent these serious complications.

Q11. How much does Anti-Reflux Surgery cost at Metro Hospitals?

Ans: The cost varies depending on the unit and the specific type of repair (e.g., with or without hernia repair). However, since it is a medical necessity, it is covered under Cashless Insurance. We have dedicated desks to assist with TPA approvals across all our locations.
