Abstract

Endoluminal antireflux procedures were pioneered in the 1980s as an alternative to the more invasive Nissen fundoplication. Recent advances in device design and technique have generated renewed interest. Herein we review available data for currently available devices used for endoluminal therapy for GERD.

Keywords: Endoluminal; Endoscopic; GERD; Stretta; TIF (transoral incisionless fundoplication).
