November 3: Live Surgery - Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication 🇿🇦️ at aischannel.com 🌍🌏🌎
A worldwide exponential increase in Laparoscopic Hiatus Hernia repairs has been noted since the start of the laparoscopic era.
In a time of rapid growth and advances in modern technology, a need for the adoption of new surgical and anaesthetic approaches to the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication has become apparent.
This procedure has evolved to one that is simplistic in its approach, using an opiate-free anaesthetic aimed at reducing post-operative diaphragmatic stressors, with an easy OR set up and a more efficient OR change-over time. It can be performed with just one surgical assistant / camera operator and is cost-effective whilst providing reproducible results, without sacrificing the three crucial steps when performing a laparoscopic anti-reflux procedure, and, most importantly, achieving the goals of surgery, namely:
1. Relieving G.E.R.D sympotms
2. Healing any associated gastro-esophageal mucosal injuries
3. Improving the patient's quality of life
On November 3rd 2017 at 3pm (Cape Town Time), Dr. François N. Schutte and his assistant Dr. Frans Badenhorst will be performing, from Netcare Sunward Park Hospital in South Africa, a Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication to demonstrate these points.
