Hi Bimbo,

 

You can read about the Nissan surgery here in the treatments database. If you have been diagnosed with Acid Reflux and your doctor has prescribed surgery to help correct the issue, this is a good place to start to find some information. While online sites are great resources for information to help you ask all the right questions, they should not be used as a replacement for your doctor's solid medical advice.

 

In this post, Dr. Tod Eisner, anwers common questions about surgery for reflux. In his answer he addresses the safety of Nissan Fundoplication surgery. Click here to read his post. You may also want to read a post by one of our community members about her experience with laproscopic Nissan Fundoplication.

 

Good luck and please stay in touch. Let us know how you are doing!
