Making better valve: ... To keep stomach acid in stomach. The most common operation for gastroesophageal reflux (ger) performed in the us is a fundoplication in which the top of the stomach (fundus) is plicated or wrapped around the bottom of the swallowing tube (esophagus) to make a better valve there. It can either be a full- or partial-wrap. The operation can be done openly or laparoscopically.
