Nissen Fundoplication is a surgical procedure that involves a complete 360-degree wrap of the stomach around the esophagus. This technique is highly effective for treating severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and associated conditions.

The procedure strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing acid reflux and improving symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation. It is often performed laparoscopically, offering faster recovery and less postoperative pain compared to open surgery.

Recovery involves dietary adjustments, with patients starting on liquids and gradually progressing to solid foods. Pain management and avoiding strenuous activities are key components of postoperative care.

Nissen fundoplication offers durable symptom relief and improves quality of life for patients with GERD. This procedure is considered the gold standard for surgical treatment of reflux disease.
