About Robotic-assisted Toupet fundoplication

Robotic-assisted Toupet fundoplication may be recommended when surgery is needed to reinforce the lower oesophageal sphincter by wrapping the upper stomach around the lower oesophagus. The operation may be discussed in cases of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or a hiatal hernia that remains troublesome despite appropriate non-operative care. An upper gastrointestinal surgeon should review the diagnosis, imaging or test results, medical history, and alternatives before the operation is booked. Pricing shown for Nigeria is indicative; the final hospital quotation depends on the exact technique, anaesthesia, implants/consumables, and length of stay.

Why it may be recommended

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or a hiatal hernia that remains troublesome despite appropriate non-operative care.

Before Surgery

Consultation

Yes — a pre-surgery review with a Upper gastrointestinal surgeon is needed. Bring your relevant records and use the appointment to ask why Robotic-assisted Toupet fundoplication is being recommended, whether there are alternatives, and what could change the final plan or price.

Before Robotic-assisted Toupet fundoplication, you may be asked to complete or provide the following: blood count, kidney/electrolyte tests, liver tests when relevant, coagulation profile for major surgery, blood group/screen where bleeding is possible, and the imaging or endoscopy used to confirm the diagnosis. The exact work-up depends on your age, medical history, diagnosis, and the hospital's anaesthesia protocol.

Fasting guidance

If sedation or anaesthesia is planned for Robotic-assisted Toupet fundoplication, follow the fasting time given by your hospital. Do not guess the cut-off time: instructions can differ for solid food, clear fluids, children, diabetes, and emergency procedures.

Implants or devices
