TIF Procedure with EsophyX

In about 1 hour, a specially trained EsophyX surgeon reconstructs a robust antireflux barrier, thus restoring the gastroesophageal junction back to what is believed to be its natural anatomical geometry. TIF results in established parameters of antireflux surgery and emulates the principles of the laparoscopic fundoplication but without incisions and with an added benefit of versatility.

The EndoGastric Solutions (EGS) EsophyX™ System with Serofuse™ Fastener is indicated for use in endoluminal, transoral tissue approximation, full thickness plication and ligation in the GI tract and is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients who require and respond to pharmacological therapy. It is also indicated to narrow the gastroesophageal junction and reduce hiatal hernia ≤ 2cm in size in patients with symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease.
