Positive and negative impact of anti-reflux mucosal intervention on gastroesophageal reflux disease

Two‐year outcomes of anti‐reflux mucosectomy in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease: A Chinese prospective cohort study

“…Even if patients can get rid of annoying reflux symptoms, when objective reflux persists, esophageal inflammation continues to develop and eventually causes reflux stricture or BE. Previous studies have demonstrated that AET, number of reflux episodes, and the DeMeester score of GERD patients decreased after ARMS 24,25,32 . As for esophageal motility, He et al retrospectively analyzed 69 patients who underwent ARMS and received HRM before and after surgery and found that lower esophageal sphincter pressure was significantly increased after surgery 25 .…”

“…Although the short-term efficacy of ARMS has been confirmed by a variety of studies, [24][25][26] the long-term efficacy of endoscopic procedures has been questioned, since the effect of endoscopic surgeries (including ARMS) on anti-reflux barrier reconstruction are not as strong as surgeries. 3 Most of the patients opt for endoscopic therapy to get rid of long-term medications; therefore, long-term efficacy of the endoscopic strategies is particularly important.…”

Exploring the landscape of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection in Taiwan: In‐depth investigation of complication risks

“…11,12 Peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia, antireflux mucosal intervention for gastroesophageal reflux, and gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy for gastroparesis in Taiwan have yielded exceptionally positive clinical outcomes. [13][14][15] The acceptance of ESD and its related procedures in Taiwan is gradually increasing. Gaining a deeper understanding of colorectal ESD provides valuable insights and helps mitigate the risk of complications.…”

“…The introduction of endoscopic suturing systems has empowered Taiwanese endoscopists to manage large gastric and duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors effectively, marking the first case reports of such procedures in Asia 11,12 . Peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia, antireflux mucosal intervention for gastroesophageal reflux, and gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy for gastroparesis in Taiwan have yielded exceptionally positive clinical outcomes 13–15 …”
