Nissen Fundoplication is generally performed under general anaesthesia through several small abdominal incisions when a laparoscopic approach is used. The surgeon creates a complete wrap of the stomach fundus around the lower esophagus after addressing any associated hiatal hernia. Following surgery, patients may initially require dietary modifications while swallowing and gastrointestinal function recover. Potential postoperative effects can include difficulty swallowing, bloating, gas-related discomfort, nausea, or recurrence of reflux in some patients.
