Abstract

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.
