Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Anti-Reflux Surgery (Nissen Fundoplication). These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Anti-reflux surgery, most commonly performed as a Nissen fundoplication, is a surgical procedure that restores the natural barrier between the stomach and the oesophagus to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the food pipe. It is recommended for patients with chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or hiatus hernia whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by medication, or who wish to avoid long-term acid-suppressing drugs. The surgeon wraps the upper part of the stomach around the lower oesophagus to create a new valve; if a hiatus hernia is present, it is also repaired during the same operation. The procedure is most commonly performed laparoscopically through small keyhole incisions, though robotic-assisted and open approaches are also available. Most patients are discharged within two to four days and experience significant relief from heartburn and regurgitation, with the majority no longer needing daily acid medication after recovery.
The standard approach: the wrap is created through four to five small abdominal incisions using a camera and long thin instruments, offering less pain and a faster recovery than open surgery.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Upper endoscopy (gastroscopy), Oesophageal manometry, Ambulatory 24-hour pH monitoring, Barium swallow study, ECG, CBC, LFT and KFT, Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $5,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 18 days
The surgeon performs the same wrap operation using robotic arms controlled from a console, offering three-dimensional vision and greater precision — particularly useful for complex or large hiatus hernias.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Upper endoscopy (gastroscopy), Oesophageal manometry, Ambulatory 24-hour pH monitoring, Barium swallow study, ECG, CBC, LFT and KFT, Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $7,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 14 days
The wrap is performed through a single larger incision in the upper abdomen; reserved for patients where keyhole surgery is not feasible due to prior abdominal scarring, very large hernias, or other complexity.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Upper endoscopy (gastroscopy), Oesophageal manometry, Ambulatory 24-hour pH monitoring, Barium swallow study, ECG, CBC, LFT and KFT, Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $5,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
