Already chosen your upper gastrointestinal surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed acid reflux surgery (fundoplication)? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is acid reflux surgery (fundoplication)?
Fundoplication uses the upper part of the stomach to strengthen the barrier against reflux into the food pipe. It is considered for selected patients after assessment of reflux and swallowing function.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Do my tests confirm reflux as the cause of my main symptoms?
- Why is surgery being recommended despite or instead of continued medicines?
- Which wrap is proposed, and how does my swallowing function affect that choice?
- What should I understand about swallowing problems, gas bloating and possible recurrent reflux?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the endoscopy and biopsy reports alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the upper gastrointestinal surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Endoscopy and biopsy reports
- Existing pH or impedance monitoring results
- Oesophageal manometry and swallow imaging if already performed
- Medicine history, symptom pattern and previous hiatus hernia surgery records
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
