Popis: Background: Nissen Fundoplication (NF) and Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) are established procedures for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the surgically induced plication can loosen over time. This multicenter study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Antireflux Mucosectomy (ARMS) and Resection and Plication (RAP) in symptomatic patients with prior NF or TIF that has become loose. Patients and methods: Eighteen patients were enrolled in the study. Ten had prior TIF, while eight had prior NF. Half of these patients had a Hill Grade 3 Valve while the other half had a Hill Grade 2 valve. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed in six patients, while endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed in twelve patients. A follow-up endoscopy was performed at 4–12 weeks. Results: At follow-up, 11 patients had a Hill Grade 1 valve, and seven patients had a Hill Grade 2 valve. All patients had improvement in symptoms for up to 32 months. Conclusions: In this pilot study, ARMS/RAP appears to be an effective option in patients who had prior NF or TIF with recurrent GERD symptoms.
