Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is prevalent in 10% of the population. In addition to the established therapy, endoscopic antireflux procedures have been developed to improve the gastroesophageal reflux barrier. This can achieved by endoscopically placed sutures, application of radio frequency energy, or injection of biocompatible materials. These new techniques might be effective in some patients with GERD. To date, there are limited data on the effectiveness and safety of these methods. During a follow-up of 1-2 years, subjective parameters improved in 70-75% of the test patients such that no antisecretory treatment was required. Further, randomized, placebo-controlled studies are needed for objective evaluation of these promising new methods.
