Anti-Reflux Surgery

Reflux symptoms typically are heartburn and/or regurgitation of food and/or acid into the mouth. These symptoms can majorly impact a persons life. 

If Medical treatment with acid reducing medication doesn't work then anti-reflux surgery may be a good choice for you.

​

Mr Kelly specialises in a very effective range of surgical procedures for reflux

​

  • ​Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication (Partial fundoplication)

​

  • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (Full fundoplication)

​

  • Laparoscopic Hiatal hernia repair

  • Laparoscopic Massive hiatal hernia repair
