Abstract:
New endoscopic (endoluminal) methods have been developed recently for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The options are endoluminal gastroplasty, delivery of radiofrequency to the lower oesophagus reducing transient relaxation of the lower sphincter, or implantation of polymer in the lower oesophagus. The respective results of these procedures are detailed and discussed. The lack of long term follow-up and the number of procedures do not allow to validate the endoluminal procedures which remain in the field of clinical research. When the medical treatment fails or in case of complication, the glod standard is still the laparoscopic fundoplication. But it is possible in the future that one or more endoluminal techniques could change the management of reflux disease.
