Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center will broadcast laparoscopic nissen fundoplication surgery live over the internet on Wednesday, November 29, 6:00 pm Central time.

Laparoscopic nissen fundoplication is a minimally invasive procedure to correct gastroesophagel reflux disease (GERD). This procedure alleviates chronic heartburn in people whose condition cannot be controlled by either lifestyle changes or medication. Symptoms include a burning sensation from the chest to the throat which is caused by severe gastroesophageal reflux due to a weak valve muscle between the stomach and the esophagus.
