Asked for Male, 27 Years

I am just curiously asking I have heard that Nissen fundoplication has a high failure rate . And it can't be done more than 2 or 3 times . What if the Nissen fundoplication fails 2 or 3 times then what is the next surgical option to cure severe acid reflux no Dr says about it is there no cure for this what about the linx surgery . Is fundoplication the only option for this
