- Surgical Procedure
During this surgical procedure the upper curve of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the lower portion of the esophagus. This procedure strengthens the valve (sphincter) between the esophagus and stomach and helps prevent acid reflux. [rarediseases.org]
Surgical procedures: Examination of mucous membrane is the gold standard investigation. This is best obtained when the patient is not acutely ill, as ciliary morphology or function may be affected. [patient.info]
Sometimes a surgical procedure is performed, where a tube is passed into a patient's stomach through the abdominal wall (PEG, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy). [socialstyrelsen.se]
