Transoral surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) offers an exciting new method for providing surgical relief to sufferers of serious heartburn.
Unlike conventional surgery and laparoscopic techniques, transoral incisionless surgery procedures are performed through the mouth, not through a surgical incision.
The procedure is performed while the patient is under general anaesthesia and, because there are no incisions or internal cutting, surgical repair can be practically pain free.
