Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication: a minimal access alternative

P Troch, H Jansen

    Canadian Operating Room Nursing Journal
    |September 1, 1994
    PubMed
    Summary

    Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease. LNF provides increased patient satisfaction, reduced costs, and faster recovery compared to open procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Nursing

    Background:

    • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly treated with Nissen fundoplication.
    • Traditional open Nissen fundoplication involves significant incisions, leading to patient discomfort, prolonged recovery, and higher costs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review gastroesophageal reflux disease and its surgical management.
    • To describe the laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) procedure.
    • To highlight the role of perioperative nursing in LNF.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on Nissen fundoplication and laparoscopic techniques.
    • Description of the surgical steps involved in laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
    • Discussion of perioperative nursing considerations for LNF patients.

    Main Results:

    • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is emerging as a preferred treatment for GERD.
    • LNF offers advantages over open surgery, including increased patient satisfaction, decreased costs, and a quicker return to daily activities.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is a viable and advantageous alternative to open surgery for GERD.
    • The perioperative nursing process is crucial for successful LNF outcomes.
