Is TIF an incisionless and outpatient procedure? Does TIF open the door to an anatomic reconstruction to the entire spectrum of patients with GERD? How is the primary endpoint of long-term symptom amelioration in the randomized controlled trial comparing transoral incisionless fundoplication with proton pump inhibitor therapy?

Does the results of this study demonstrate that most patients undergoing primary laparoscopic fundoplication have near normal GERD−HRQL scores? Are the patients satisfied with their decision to undergo surgery at long-term follow-up? Are the results following redo laparoscopic fundoplication as good as with primary laparoscopic fundoplication?
