What is toupee fundoplication?
Toupee fundoplication is a surgical procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by reinforcing the lower esophageal sphincter. It involves wrapping a portion of the stomach (the fundus) around the esophagus, but unlike the complete wrap of Nissen fundoplication, the toupee technique only partially encircles the esophagus. This approach aims to alleviate reflux symptoms while minimizing potential complications like dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). It is typically considered for patients with specific anatomical conditions or those who may not benefit from a full wrap.
