Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am. 2003 Jan;13(1):211-21, xii. doi: 10.1016/s1052-5157(02)00119-8.

Abstract

Endoscopic treatments for gastroesophageal reflux disease are directed at specific targets at the gastroesophageal junction. We explore the limitations and challenges of the anatomy, how current methods alter the anatomy and then speculate on the direction of future therapies.
