Abstract: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the common gastrointestinal diseases. The treatment options for GERD includes lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery. With the development of surgical technology, minimally invasive surgery has become more and more widely used in clinical practice due to its advantages such as less trauma and rapid postoperative recovery. Laparoscopic fundoplication is the standard surgical treatment for GERD. Due to the postoperative complications of laparoscopic fundoplication, a variety of new alternative minimally invasive surgery methods, which are expected to provide new treatment options for GERD patients, have emerged recently. Surgical minimally invasive procedures include magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA), bariatric surgery, and lower esophageal sphincter electric stimulating therapy (LES-EST). Endoscopic minimally invasive procedures include transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), Stretta radiofrequency ablation, and anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS). This article mainly describes the current status of minimally invasive surgical treatment of GERD.
