  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common gastrointestinal condition. When medical therapy fails to adequately control symptoms, antireflux surgery is generally indicated. The most commonly performed antireflux operation is currently the laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. During surgery, a consistent step-wise approach with attention to proper setup and common pitfalls can lead to good and durable clinical results with minimal long-term side effects.
