There are several different methods when performing a<unk><unk><unk> . A few of these are the fundoplication and the general<unk><unk><unk> . In bariatric surgery,<unk> s are<unk> ed<unk> ally anteriorly, rather than posteriorly as in the fundoplication procedure. This general<unk>  procedure was introduced by Sami Salem Ahmad from Germany. The Nissen fundoplication procedure was first performed by Rudolph Nissen in 1955.<unk><unk><unk>  A<unk><unk><unk>  is when the<unk><unk>  is corrected using a covering for the mesh that is used to<unk>  the weakened area. The defect is then measured and the mesh is stapled into place. A benefit of performing<unk><unk><unk>  is shorter recovery times compared to other methods. However, it is a longer procedure than most other methods of<unk> . Nissen fundoplication The Nissen fundoplication procedure consists of a 360 degree transabdominal fundoplication. A fundoplication is the suturing of the fundus located in the stomach and around the esophagus. The procedure itself is performed with the patient in a low lithotomy position at approximately 25 degrees. After the esophagus is mobilized, the crura is moved posteriorly using sutures to make room for a French bougie. When in place, a wrap is created and sutured to the esophagus and to the right crus at the hiatus as well. After this is performed, the bougie is removed and the wrap is further anchored with additional sutures. The trocar sites are then closed.
