Abstract
There are a wide variety of surgical therapeutic options for GERD—ranging from laparoscopic fundoplication, magnetic sphincter augmentation, to advanced endoscopic interventions (eg, transoral incisionless fundoplication, TIF). TIF has emerged as the predominant endoscopic approach for GERD, supported by several randomized trials highlighting the efficacy of this procedure. Its safety profile has similarly been well established. The key to properly utilizing this procedure is patient selection. We here in describe the efficacy, highlight key decision making and technical aspects of performing a TIF, to discuss post-operative care and complications.
