Gastroösophageale Refluxkrankheit -
Endoskopische Therapie

Zusammenfassung

Zur Therapie der gastroösophagealen Refluxkrankheit werden neue endoskopische Techniken entwickelt: Die endoluminale endoskopische Nahttechnik, die Radiofrequenzapplikation und die Injektion oder Implantation biokompatibler Fremdkörper. Sie zielen auf eine Verbesserung der gastroösophagealen Refluxbarriere. In laufenden Studien werden sie insbesondere hinsichtlich des Langzeiteffektes und möglicher Komplikationen evaluiert. Für den routinemäßigen Einsatz sind sie zur Zeit noch nicht geeignet.

Abstract

Various endoscopic techniques are currently evaluated for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease: Endoscopically placed endoluminal sutures, application of radiofrequency energy, injection or implantation of biocompatible materials. These minimally invasive treatment modalities are based on the attempts to improve the gastro-esophageal reflux barrier. Ongoing studies have to evaluate long-term effects and potential complications. However they can’t be considered ready for routine clinical application now.
