Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (video)
In a fundoplication, the gastric fundus (upper part) of the stomach is wrapped , around the lower end of the esophagus and stitched in place, reinforcing the closing function of the lower esophageal sphincter.
In a Nissen fundoplication,"complete fundoplication", the fundus is wrapped all the way 360 degrees around the esophagus.
This is a video of a Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
