Endoscopic Anti-reflux Therapy

Traditional treatments for patients suffering from gastro-oesophageal reflux disease has usually meant taking anti-acid tablets or undergoing invasive surgery.

The exciting development of endoscopic anti-reflux therapy now means a 3rd option is now available. These "over the scope" techniques, such as transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) using the "Esophyx" device, have several advantages. They are safe, minimally invasive (the procedure is performed though the mouth), avoid abdominal scarring of the abdomen, have a lower complication rate than surgery and allow patients to return to work quickly.

Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) using the Esophyx device for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal (acid) reflux is now available from the Endoscopy Clinic.
