The treatment of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) has improved dramatically in recent years. The new endoluminal treatments may bring a relatively simple, minimally invasive therapy that can be simultaneously applied in patients with GERD undergoing diagnostic upper endoscopy. Although the initial results are promising, these new techniques are generating some controversy and require further evaluation with randomized studies and longer follow-ups to define their precise role in the long-term management of the gastroesophageal reflux disease.
近年来，胃食管反流病（GERD）的治疗有了显著改善。新的腔内治疗可能带来一种相对简单、微创的疗法，可同时应用于接受诊断性上消化道内镜检查的GERD患者。尽管初步结果令人鼓舞，但这些新技术引发了一些争议，需要通过随机研究和更长时间的随访进行进一步评估，以确定它们在胃食管反流病长期管理中的精确作用。
