Anti-Reflux Surgery FAQs
What is robotic hiatus hernia repair and anti-reflux surgery?
Robotic hiatus hernia repair and anti-reflux surgery is a minimally invasive surgery to repair a hiatus hernia and treat reflux. The procedure uses robotic-assisted techniques to help restore normal stomach and oesophagus function.
What is reflux?
Reflux, or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), happens when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus. This can cause heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort.
What is a hiatus hernia?
A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest. This can cause symptoms such as heartburn, reflux, or difficulty swallowing.
What do I need to do to prepare for surgery?
Before surgery, you will have a pre-operative assessment to review your medical history and complete any necessary tests. You may need to adjust medications or fast before surgery, and arranging transport home is recommended.
What happens during surgery?
Robotic hiatus hernia repair and anti-reflux surgery is performed using small incisions and robotic-assisted instruments. The surgeon repairs the hernia and wraps the top of the stomach around the lower oesophagus to reduce reflux. Most patients go home the same day, but some may stay overnight depending on the complexity of the surgery and individual recovery.
What is recovery like after surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the surgery and your health. Most patients feel relief within a few days and can gradually return to normal activities over 1–4 weeks.
