Laparoscopic Fundoplication

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is a minimally invasive procedure that is done to restore the function of the lower esophageal sphincter (the valve between the esophagus and the stomach) by wrapping the stomach around the esophagus. This procedure is usually successful and has a good long-term outlook.
