Case description

Although the standard Nissen fundoplication has been modified many times, laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is now considered the standard surgical approach for treatment of severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The pathophysiology of GERD is due to mechanical dysfunction centered on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
