Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations, 11e AB - Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease is the most common indication for laparoscopic fundoplication using the floppy 360-degree Nissen technique. The clinical presentation and diagnostic workup are described in detail in Chapter 37. Repeated episodes of aspiration pneumonia or asthma triggered by reflux are significant indications. Intolerance to medical management with proton pump inhibitors, noncompliance with recommended medication regimens, and the cost or complications associated with lifelong medication use represent additional indications for this procedure.
