ARMA is a cutting-edge, non-surgical solution for treating chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using endoscopy, eliminating the need for surgery or incisions. The technique involves strengthening the valve between the stomach and esophagus through a precise endoscopic procedure, which reduces the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. This helps alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing.
The procedure is performed under mild sedation and is characterized by a quick recovery time, allowing patients to leave the same day. ARMA is a suitable option for patients who have not responded to medication and who desire an effective and safe solution with minimal intervention.
