What is Fundoplication? A Brief Overview
“Fundoplication surgery is a treatment employed to address gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a disorder characterised by the recurrent regurgitation of stomach acid into the oesophagus, resulting in discomfort.” Dr Mir Asif, Renowned General and Laparoscopic Surgeon in Delhi NCR & Director of MIRASCARE Multi speciality Clinic, Gurugram
This operation is also conducted to rectify hiatal hernias, in which a segment of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity.
How Fundoplication Works?
The procedure entails encircling the upper section of the stomach (the fundus) around the lower oesophagus. This reinforcement establishes a valve mechanism that inhibits the reflux of stomach acid and contents into the oesophagus.
Types of Fundoplication
1. Nissen Fundoplication (360-degree wrap): The stomach is wrapped completely around the esophagus. It’s the most common and effective type.
2. Partial Fundoplication (270-degree or less wrap):
- Toupet Fundoplication: A 270-degree posterior wrap.

These partial wraps are used when a full wrap might lead to complications like difficulty swallowing.
