Does a gastroentrologist do the surgery nissen fundoliplication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Who does the Nissen?: The nissen fundoplication is a surgery done to correct the reflux of fluid from the stomach into the esophagus. These days, it's often done by laparoscopy, i.e., "keyhole" surgery. This is done by a surgeon, not a gastroenterologist. But your gastroenterologist can recommend their most trusted surgeon for you.
