INEFFECTIVE ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH A WORST CLINICAL OUTCOME AFTER TRANSORAL INCISIONLESS FUNDOPLICATION

Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be performed with two different devices: Esophyx and, more recently, MUSE system. Aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the presence of ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) before TIF and the clinical outcome of the procedure, assessed by proton pumps inhibitors (PPI) consumption 6 months after TIF.
