What are the long term effects of a fundoplication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Control reflux!: A properly performed nissen fundoplication will stop your gastroesophageal reflux, getting rid of your heartburn. Some patients have difficulty belching or vomiting; some also have some difficulty swallowing solid foods such as meat, bread, and rice.
