    • To introduce and describe a newly developed surgical instrument.
    • To highlight the instrument's design features that facilitate the fundoplication procedure.
    • To underscore the potential benefits of this instrument in improving the surgical treatment of oesophageal reflux.

    Main Methods:

    • The abstract describes a purpose-designed surgical instrument.
    • Key features of the instrument that aid in the fundoplication steps are detailed.
    • The focus is on the instrument's role in enhancing surgical performance.

    Main Results:

    • The instrument is specifically engineered to make the fundoplication operation easier to perform.
    • It is designed to streamline critical steps within the surgical procedure.
    • The described instrument facilitates the surgical treatment of oesophageal reflux.

    Conclusions:

    • The development of specialized instruments can significantly aid surgical procedures.
    • This novel instrument offers a potential improvement for performing fundoplication.
    • Further clinical evaluation may demonstrate enhanced outcomes in treating oesophageal reflux.
