This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Fundoplication

Select your language:

Fundoplication has been shown to be effective in preventing reflux. Patients who undergo the fundoplication procedure usually spend 24 hours in the hospital and are back to work within a week.

In laparoscopic fundoplication, the minimally invasive version of fundoplication, your surgeon will make four or five small incisions in your abdomen and then insert a thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope, along with surgical instruments. Laparoscopic fundoplication reduces scarring, pain and recovery time associated with more invasive methods.
