Severe Reflux: A Nissen Fundoplication is a surgical intervention generally performed very successfully for patients with severe esophageal reflux that does not get better with more conservative medical treatments (anti-acids and proton pump inhibitors) and life-style modifications( weight loss, smoking cessation,decreased alcohol intake, smaller more frequent meals). It is performed by a general surgeon.
