Different Types of Upper GI Surgeries

1. Laparoscopic Fundoplication:
It is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also
known as acid reflux. If medications and lifestyle changes do not improve your condition, you may
need this surgery.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition wherein the stomach acids frequently flow
back into your oesophagus. If left untreated, it can cause severe complications.

During fundoplication, the surgeon will wrap the upper part of the stomach around the lower part
of the oesophagus and stitch it in place. This will tighten the valve between the stomach and the
oesophagus.

It will also prevent the acid from backing up in the oesophagus. The surgeon will create small
incisions in the abdomen during laparoscopic fundoplication surgery. Then, they will insert the
camera and surgical instruments to operate on you outside.

After surgery, you will be hospitalized and discharged when you start drinking liquid. You can
resume regular activities after a week, depending on your overall health.

Diaphragmatic hernia is a congenital condition resulting in a hole in the baby’s diaphragm. The

The diaphragmatic hernia is a rare condition in adults. The onset of adult diaphragmatic hernia is
mainly related to trauma and/or injury.

Diaphragmatic hernias, whether congenital or acquired, may need immediate surgery. The
surgeon will move the abdominal organs from the chest and place them back in the abdomen
during the procedure. Then, repair the diaphragm and reinforce the strength of the diaphragm
with mesh.

3. Lap Duodenal Perforation Repair:

Duodenal Perforation is a transmural injury to the duodenal wall. It may occur due to peptic
ulceration, trauma, iatrogenic causes, duodenal diverticula, autoimmune conditions, infectious
disease, tumour, or chemotherapy. It may cause acute pain, less severe fistula, or abscess
formation symptoms.

4. Laparoscopic TVGJ:
Truncal vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy (TVGJ) are some of the best options for surgical
management of chronic duodenal ulcers (peptic ulcers).

Dr Samrat Jankar, a renowned laparoscopic surgeon in Pune, is an expert in this procedure.

Surgeons also perform truncal vagotomy and gastroenterostomy for gastric outlet obstruction.

During truncal vagotomy, the surgeon will cut off one or more branches of the main vagus nerve
that travel through the oesophagus to the stomach and other digestive organs. It helps to reduce
stomach acids.

Gastrojejunostomy is a minimally invasive procedure. It involves creating a direct connection

between the stomach and the jejunum (the middle portion of the small intestine), bypassing the
starting portion of the small intestine.

5. Laparoscopic Surgery for Stomach and Oesophageal

Like any other part of our body, even the GI tract is prone to cancers. It includes stomach cancer,
oesophageal cancer, and GE junction cancers. Surgery is the most common treatment for these
malignancies.

treatment for stomach and oesophageal cancers. He is highly skilled in laparoscopic cancer
surgery for the stomach and oesophagus.

During lap-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy, the surgeon will insert a laparoscope through a
small incision made near the navel. Then, insert surgical tools through other small incisions in the
abdomen.

The surgeon cuts the oesophagus from the stomach and then pulls the stomach through the
hiatus in the diaphragm and connects to the cut portion of the oesophagus.

Minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic surgeries are a safe and effective alternative to
conventional open surgery. Further, the laparoscopic approach significantly reduces
postoperative complications and hospital stay.
