Abstract

The treatment of GERD includes diet and lifestyle modifications, medications, and surgery. With emerging concerns regarding the long-term use of PPIs, and the small percentage of patients pursuing Nissen fundoplication (NF), there remains a GERD treatment gap. There are novel endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques that strive to fill this treatment gap for GERD patients. These include Stretta® Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation System, transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) including Esophyx® and MUSE™, the LINX® Reflux Management System, and EndoStim® LES Stimulation System.
