Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (Reflux Surgery) Procedure

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication is a surgical procedure commonly performed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). During the procedure, the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to strengthen the valve between the esophagus and stomach, preventing acid reflux. The surgery is minimally invasive, typically done using small incisions and a laparoscope with a video camera.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication is considered medically necessary in cases where the patient suffers from severe gastroesophageal reflux and is unable to find relief through conservative methods including medications and/or lifestyle changes. Patients with severe symptoms may be recommended for this procedure. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Chronic cough
  • Aspiration pneumonia
  • Esophageal bleeding or scarring

What To Expect

Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. To begin, small incisions are made in the abdomen and a laparoscope is inserted to provide a clear view of the internal organs. The surgeon then wraps the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus and sews it in place, creating a tight valve that prevents acid reflux. This technique reduces the need for lifelong medication and can significantly improve symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain. 

Patients typically experience a shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery, with fewer complications and minimal scarring. Follow-up care may include dietary modifications and lifestyle changes to maximize the benefits of the surgery.
