Fundoplication - Acid Reflux (GERD) Treatment

Overview

What is a Nissen fundoplication?

A Nissen fundoplication is a surgery to correct gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The surgery tightens the junction between the esophagus and the stomach to prevent acid reflux.

The esophagus is the tube between your mouth and stomach. It is part of your gastrointestinal (GI) system.

What is GERD?

GERD (chronic acid reflux) is a digestive system disorder that affects the esophagus. If you have GERD, your stomach acid and contents persistently flow back up through your esophagus.

What are the types of Nissen fundoplication?

Surgeons perform two types of Nissen fundoplication surgery:

• Laparoscopic procedures use tiny incisions (cuts) and cameras to view inside the body.

• Open procedures use larger incisions so the surgeon can access inside the body with larger instruments and more range of motion.

Who needs to have a Nissen fundoplication?

Sometimes, you can find relief from acid reflux symptoms with medication or lifestyle changes. If symptoms continue after trying noninvasive treatments, your healthcare provider may recommend Nissen fundoplication surgery. Both children and adults can be candidates for Nissen fundoplication.
