Cirugía antirreflujo - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Fundoplicatura; Fundoplicatura de Nissen; Fundoplicatura de Balsey (Mark IV), Fundoplicatura de Toupet; Fundoplicatura de Thal; Reparación de hernia de hiato; Fundoplicatura endoluminal

Después del procedimiento:

Los pacientes sometidos a cirugía laparoscópica generalmente pasan de 1 a 3 días en el hospital y los que se realizan una cirugía abierta pueden pasar de 2 a 6 días hospitalizados después del procedimiento.

La mayoría de los pacientes regresa a trabajar de 2 a 3 semanas después de la cirugía laparoscópica y de 4 a 6 semanas después de la cirugía abierta.

Pronóstico:

La reparación quirúrgica antirreflujo es una operación segura. La acidez gástrica y otros síntomas deben mejorar después de la cirugía, pero todavía puede ser necesario tomar fármacos para la acidez gástrica después de la operación.

Algunas personas necesitarán otra operación en el futuro para tratar nuevos síntomas de reflujo o problemas para tragar. Esto puede suceder si se enrolla el estómago demasiado apretado alrededor del esófago, el enrollamiento se afloja o se desarrolla una nueva hernia de hiato.
