Title
Care of the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication Patient
Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease can usually be successfully managed with conservative medical treatment. Anti-reflux surgery is a safe alternative when treatment fails or patients desire a more definitive treatment option. Through a case study approach, this article describes the indications for surgery, the essentials of the authors’ multi-disciplinary approach to care and the components of a well-designed education plan for a patient undergoing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Although most patients do well after surgery, diligent nursing care is required before and after surgery to prevent or manage complications and ensure patients have a rapid recovery and successful outcome. © 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
