Choosing NMC Specialty Hospital - Al Ain 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 2007, the JCI accredited hospital in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates has 100 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.
