Abstract:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease( GERD)is caused by dysfunction of lower esophageal sphincter( LES), which allows the contents of stomach and duodenum to reflux into esophagus. Currently,medical and surgical therapies are the main treatment for GERD,but patients need to take life-long acid suppression and the surgical treatment has the risks of potential side effects. Endolumenal therapy as a minimally invasive approach to GERD can safely and effectively relieve the symptoms of GERD,especially Stretta radiofrequency procedure,transoral noninvasive fundoplication( TIF ) and LinX reflux management system. This article reviewed the advances in study on endolumenal therapy for GERD.
