Episode 107: Dr. James Conti and Dr. Steve Choe Discuss Advanced Care for GERD Patients


Listen Later

GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, is a chronic condition characterized by the frequent backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, causing uncomfortable symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation. While lifestyle changes and medications are often the initial treatment options, some individuals may not find relief through these methods, or they may be concerned about the long-term use of medications. In such cases, a minimally invasive procedure called the Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) offers an innovative solution. TIF, performed with the EsophyX device, reconstructs the natural anti-reflux valve by accessing the esophagus and stomach through the mouth, without external incisions. This procedure provides a personalized approach to controlling reflux symptoms, often resulting in less postoperative discomfort and a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgical options, offering hope to those seeking a more effective and efficient solution for their GERD.
