Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is a common and well recognized treatment for reflux; unfortunately, the operation can fail and require reoperation in approximately 3% of patients. In this video we describe takedown of a failed Nissen Fundoplication, dissection and closure of the crus, reinforcement of the crus with a synthetic absorbable mesh, and construction of a new Nissen fundoplication. We also demonstrate a Collis Gastroplasty in the case of shortened esophagus following a failed repair.
