About TIF Procedure
Lifestyle & Diet
Treating early-stage GERD typically centers on a combination of lifestyle and dietary changes, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and prescription drug regimens. If the disease continues to worsen, to correct the root cause, an anatomic defect at the gastroesophageal (GE) junction, surgical intervention may be warranted, either a conventional laparoscopic procedure or the incisionless TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) procedure, performed with the innovative EsophyX surgical device from EndoGastric Solutions.
