GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) endotherapy refers to various minimally invasive endoscopic procedures used to treat the symptoms of GERD, which is a chronic condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn, regurgitation, and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Endoscopic procedures involve the use of a flexible tube with a camera and other instruments inserted through the mouth and into the digestive tract to diagnose and treat various conditions. GERD endotherapy techniques typically involve using the endoscope to apply heat or radiofrequency energy to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to strengthen it, or to create small burns or abrasions on the inner lining of the esophagus to promote healing and reduce reflux.
