The Nissen fundoplication is the most frequently performed antireflux procedure around the world. Technical details are important to prevent intraoperative complications and postoperative troublesome side-effects. If performed correctly the procedure, especially in the laparoscopic version, can be very effective and durable as antireflux therapy. After

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995
The Nissen fundoplication currently is the most commonly used antireflux operation. It may be performed using a transabdominal or a transthoracic approach. Early postoperative complications are not infrequent and include dysphagia and the "gas bloat" syndrome. Excellent or good long-term results are obtained in more than 85% of patients.

Modified Nissen fundoplication for reduction of fundoplication failure
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1997Failure of the Nissen fundoplication can be secondary to disruption of the wrap or slippage of the stomach upward within the wrap. A modification of the Nissen fundoplication was devised and implemented between 1982 and 1995 to eliminate these complications. This report describes the modification and the results.

Obstructive complications of the Nissen fundoplication
The American Journal of Surgery, 1979The obstructive complications of the Nissen fundoplication can be devastating. They are much more easily prevented than treated. The technical considerations in avoiding these complications are conceptually simple. The fundoplication should be done over a large intraesophageal stent. A no.

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in children
Surgical Endoscopy, 1995Laparoscopic surgery for the definitive treatment of gastroesophageal reflux (GOR) has become an accepted alternative to conventional techniques in adults. Although relatively rare, GOR in children represents an important clinical entity with symptoms including failure to thrive, nocturnal dyspnea, and vomiting.

Laparoscopic tailored Nissen fundoplication
Surgical Endoscopy, 2010It is difficult sometimes to determine the suture points for proper Nissen fundoplication under laparoscopy. We introduce a new procedure to define the suture points in Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF).After dissection of the hiatus and mobilization of the fundus, the circumference of the esophagus c is measured at a point 2-cm cranial from the

The economics of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2003A major impetus for laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is its purported cost savings compared with medical therapy, but few studies have examined these economic outcomes. The aim was to analyze health care costs and use among a cohort of patients undergoing LNF and compare them with patients with medically treated gastroesophageal reflux disease (

Outpatient Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
AORN Journal, 2002ABSTRACTGastroesophageal reflux disease affects more than 40% of Americans, causing heartburn and reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus when bending or lying down. Lifestyle modification, such as weight loss and a diet rich in protein and low in fat and glucose, should increase the patient's resting lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Avoiding

THE TECHNIQUE OF LAPAROSCOPIC NISSEN FUNDOPLICATION
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995Patients with severe GERD resistant to medical therapy are benefited greatly by laparoscopic fundoplication provided that there is careful preoperative patient selection and evaluation. Preoperative evaluation should include contrast esophagography, EGD with biopsies, stationary manometry, and 24-hour pH analysis.

Laparoscopic Redo Nissen Fundoplication
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 1997Nine patients underwent redo laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication because of failed primary laparoscopic antireflux procedure. Symptoms prior to reoperation included heartburn (n = 5), dysphagia (n = 2), dysphagia and heartburn (n = 1), and early satiety and epigastric pain (n = 1).
