Endoscopic Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF)
摘要
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition that affects patients quality of life. Typical symptoms of GERD are heartburn, regurgitation and bloating. GERD results from the loss of an effective anti-reflux valve in the stomach. Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) is an endoscopic fundoplication technique safe for a selected group of patients with typical GERD symptoms.
