I found this article written by ICH Institute for Child Health - about Nissen's Fundoplication and reflux - i hope it might help someone.

It covers the following topics:

What is a Nissen’s fundoplication?
What is gastro-oesophageal reflux?
What happens before the operation?
What does the operation involve?
Are there any risks?
What happens afterwards?
Are there any long-term effects of the operation?
What is the outlook for children with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease?
