Do you suffer from heartburn or non-heartburn symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) two times per week or more? Are you unhappy with the results of medication? Are you concerned about having to take heartburn medicine for the rest of your life?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a candidate for the revolutionary TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) using the EsophyX surgical device. This new procedure permanently corrects the anatomical cause of GERD for long-term results without a single incision.
By accessing the patient's digestive system through their mouth, surgeons can reconstruct a durable anti-reflux valve and tighten the LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter), re-establishing a barrier to reflux and correcting the gastroesophageal junction so that it works properly and eliminates GERD.
Patients undergoing TIF are kept under general anesthesia during the surgery and typically only need to stay one night in the hospital. Most patients are able to return to work and other daily activities within a few days of their surgery.
In recent studies, TIF patients reported 80% improvement in quality of life, significantly improved satisfaction, and reduction/elimination of heartburn symptoms. All patients discontinued medication after the TIF procedure and 79% were still completely off daily medication two years after the procedure.
