Understanding the Oesophagus

The oesophagus, commonly called the food pipe, is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. Its main function is to carry food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach through coordinated muscle movements.

The oesophagus is made of multiple layers that help move food smoothly and support normal swallowing. When affected by conditions like acid reflux, oesophageal cancer, strictures, or swallowing disorders, it can lead to symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, chest discomfort, heartburn, vomiting, and weight loss.

What is Robotic Oesophagus Surgery?

Robotic oesophagus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat complex conditions such as severe GERD, achalasia, and oesophageal cancer. Instead of making a large open incision in the chest or abdomen, our surgeon, Dr. Vikrant Sharma, controls highly precise robotic arms through a computer console. The robotic system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into precise micro-movements inside the patient’s body. Using a high-definition 3D camera, our surgeon gets a magnified view of the narrow chest cavity where the oesophagus (food pipe) is located. This enhanced precision allows careful and precise dissection around vital organs such as the heart and lungs.

  • Less blood loss & smaller scars
  • Reduced pain
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster recovery vs open surgery

Advanced Treatment for Oesophagus Disorders

Comprehensive robotic care at Novo Robotic Surgery Centre

Oesophageal Cancer

Develops in the lining of the food pipe and may not cause noticeable symptoms early on. Dr. Vikrant Sharma uses advanced robotic-assisted surgery for precise tumour removal with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

GERD (Acid Reflux)

Robotic anti-reflux surgery (Fundoplication) helps strengthen the valve between the stomach and food pipe to prevent acid reflux.

Achalasia Cardia

A swallowing disorder. Robotic Heller myotomy offers highly precise treatment with improved outcomes and faster recovery.

Hiatus Hernia

Robotic hiatus hernia repair helps restore normal anatomy with smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery.

Barrett's Oesophagus

Caused by long-term acid reflux. Early diagnosis helps reduce complications and protect oesophageal health.

Swallowing Disorders

Dysphagia refers to difficulty swallowing. Accurate diagnosis is important for targeted treatment.

Know the symptoms

Common Warning Signs

When something affects your oesophagus, your body often gives warning signs during or after eating and drinking.

  • Difficulty swallowing (Dysphagia)
  • Persistent acidity or heartburn
  • Food getting stuck in throat or chest
  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • Regurgitation of food or acid
  • Chronic cough or throat irritation
  • Hoarseness or voice changes
  • Vomiting or nausea
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Pain while swallowing
  • Frequent burping or bloating

If any of these persist for more than two weeks, book an evaluation with Dr. Vikrant Sharma.

How it is Performed

  1. 1

    Pre-Surgical Evaluation

    Endoscopy, imaging scans, blood tests, and anaesthesia assessment.

  2. 2

    Small Keyhole Incisions

    Tiny incisions are made in the chest or abdomen to insert robotic instruments and a camera.

  3. 3

    Robotic System Setup

    Surgeon controls instruments from a specialised console with magnified 3D vision.

  4. 4

    Robotic Oesophagus Procedure

    Includes Oesophagectomy, Fundoplication, Heller Myotomy, or Hiatus Hernia Repair.

Closure & Recovery

Once the procedure is completed, the robotic instruments are removed and the tiny incisions are carefully closed. Patients are then shifted to the recovery area for monitoring. Robotic minimally invasive surgery usually offers less pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

After the procedure

Recovery After Robotic Oesophagus Surgery

Recovery is usually faster and more comfortable than traditional open surgery due to the minimally invasive robotic approach. Most patients experience less pain, smaller scars, reduced blood loss, and a shorter hospital stay. After surgery, patients are closely monitored while the body gradually heals.

Early movement

Walking and light movement are encouraged early to support faster recovery and reduce complications.

Guided diet progression

Depending on the procedure, patients may start on a liquid or soft diet before slowly returning to normal eating.

Personalised follow-up

Dr. Vikrant Sharma provides post-surgical care and recovery guidance to help patients heal safely and comfortably.
