Question

Identify the surgery shown in the image: 

• A. Nissen’s fundoplication
• B. Dor

Hint:

Nissen's fundoplication is commonly performed to treat GERD, reducing acid reflux by creating a barrier at the lower esophagus.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Solution: The image depicts a surgical procedure called Nissen’s fundoplication. This is a technique used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this procedure, the gastric fundus is wrapped around the lower end of the esophagus to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter, thereby preventing acid reflux. The full 360-degree wrap of the fundus is characteristic of Nissen’s fundoplication, distinguishing it from other similar procedures such as Dor, which involves a partial 180 to 200-degree wrap.
