What Helps Acid Reflux?
10. Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication
This is a relatively new procedure that involves the use of fasteners to help wrap part of the upper stomach around the esophageal sphincter. The procedure might sometimes be performed in association with other procedures, depending on the exact nature of the patient’s condition.
Transoral incisionless fundoplication is another minimally invasive procedure, which helps to make it popular. It is often performed through the mouth with the help of an endoscope. Complications are unlikely but when they do occur, they are likely to include pain, nerve damage, infection, swallowing difficulties, and difficulty burping. The procedure might also sometimes result in the accidental tearing of the esophagus.
