Fundoplication

As described in the main body of the encyclopaedia here, there are many types of fundoplication, the gold standard and most frequently used, is the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication.

The fundus (upper pouch) of the stomach is wrapped around the oesophagus and stitched in place (plication) as shown here and in the video below.

A number of Patients' experiences may be found on the Barrett's Patient Support website.
