Acid Reflux - GERD - EsophyX

EsophyX or TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) is the safest and newest surgical treatment for effectively treating chronic acid reflux disease. This is also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease or (GERD).

  • Hoarseness or sore throat
  • Frequent swallowing
  • Asthma or asthma-like symptoms
  • Pain or discomfort in the chest
  • Sleep disruption (unable to sleep lying down)
  • Bloating
  • Excessive clearing of the throat
  • Persistent cough
  • Burning in the mouth or throat
  • Intolerance of certain foods
  • Dental erosions or therapy-resistant gum disease or inflammation

These symptoms are likely to be caused in part by a hiatal hernia. When a hiatal hernia occurs part of the stomach moves up through an opening (hiatus) in the diaphragm. The presence of a hiatal hernia increases the risk for gastroesophageal reflux. This surgery may also be used for some people who do not have a hiatal hernia.

This procedure is completely incisionless which, through the hands of a qualified surgeon, reconstructs the antireflux barrier which provides an anitomical solution for the root causes of GERD. Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication is performed endoscopically using the innovative EsophyX surgical device from EndoGastric Solutions. In clinical studies, 79% of patients remained off daily proton pump inhibitors and 70% experienced a total elimination of heartburn at two years after the EsophyX TIF procedure.
