Dr Kaundinya Kiran Bharatam, Dr D Rajiv Raj

Abstract :

As we proceed towards more and more day care surgeries we always need to choose patients and procedures within a great deal of safety margin. Anti reflux surgeries are gaining more popularity and awareness and Laparoscopic Nissen Rosetti fundoplication is a safe and effective method of performing them. Our case series of 25 patients who underwent day care Laparoscopic Nissen Rossetti fundoplication done over a period of 3 years suggests the feasabliity and safety of performing day care antireflux surgeries with no complications. Surgical outcomes of procedure are unaffected and the main challenge faced remains pain relief and which can be effectively tackled by local blocks or plain NSAIDs. We encourage more studies in this regards with appropriate blinding to enforce its possibility as day care surgery and help patients with early recovery and decreasing cost of surgeries.
