Choosing Fortis Malar Hospital for Nissen Fundoplication gives patients access to experienced foregut surgeons, advanced gastrointestinal imaging and endoscopy, laparoscopic surgical systems, specialized anesthesia services, and structured postoperative care. Established in 1989, the NABH accredited hospital in Chennai, India has 180 beds and provides specialized treatment for GERD and related upper gastrointestinal conditions.

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.
