Treatment of GERD with endoscopic non-surgical Gerdx technique

Endoscopic GERDx treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat chronic GERD without the need for traditional surgery. The technique uses an endoscope to strengthen the valve between the esophagus and stomach by placing special sutures that re-support the muscle and improve its function. This reduces acid reflux and relieves symptoms such as heartburn and chronic acid reflux.

The procedure is performed under mild sedation and does not require incisions, resulting in less pain and a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery. GERDx is a suitable option for patients who do not respond adequately to medication or who wish to reduce their long-term reliance on medication, after a thorough medical evaluation to determine their suitability for the procedure.
