What is Endoluminal Gastroplication?
Endoluminal Gastroplication is a medical therapy developed for the treatment of symptomatic Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The procedure works by creating plications, or pleats, at the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Performing the procedure has been shown to significantly improve symptoms and regurgitation while reducing or eliminating patients' dependence on acid-controlling medications.
