N2 - In GERD patients in whom pharmacological therapies are ineffective and anti-reflux surgery is not indicated, a viable option could be proposed. To date, several endoscopic antireflux procedures, involving sewing, injection and/or implant, and radiofrequency are available. The sewing techniques demonstrated good clinical results, with reduction in proton pump inhibitors consumption; despite significant changes in esophageal manometry and/or acid exposure time reduction and healing of esophagitis were noted only in few patients.
