Endoscopic Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

William S Richardson et al. Adv Surg. 2022 Sep.

Abstract

There have been many devices and ideas to treat reflux disease endoscopically. Several devices have been tried and even FDA approved but now are no longer used. The push for these therapies is to find effective reflux control with lower risk and faster recovery. In this article we describe an endoscopic suturing device (TIF), radiofrequency device (Stretta) and a newer technique that has a lot of promise called antireflux mucosectomy. All these procedures seem to help control reflux at a minimum of morbidity given current information. As reflux is so prevalent a shift to these techniques for appropriate patients is likely to improve patient care.

Keywords: Antireflux mucosectomy; Antireflux operation; Endoscopic antireflux surgery; TIF Stretta; Transoral incisionless fundoplication.
