Abstract
The novel Endoluminal Fundoplication (ELF) technique using a Trans-Oral Incisionless and fastener-deploying device (EsophyX™, EndoGastric Solutions) was developed and evaluated for feasibility, safety and the treatment of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in a series of animal and human (phase 1, phase 2) studies.
