Abstract

Transabdominal Nissen fundoplication provides a 360° wrap around the distal esophagus. It has been supplanted by laparoscopic techniques, and is primarily used now when the laparoscopic approach is not feasible. This chapter describes the technique, pitfalls, and complications associated with this procedure.
