Abstract

Transoral incisionless fundoplication with concomitant hiatal hernia repair (cTIF) is an antireflux procedure that combines hiatal hernia repair with TIF. As such, it restores the antireflux barrier using a two-step, hybrid procedure utilizing both minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy in one operative procedure. In this article, we discuss the procedure as well as its role in the armamentarium of interventions for gastroesophageal reflux disease and outline technical details.
