Summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the relative merits, safety and effectiveness of the EsophyX transoral device in performing an advanced TIF procedure in patients with "troublesome symptoms" as defined by the Montreal consensus definition while on PPIs compared with sham and placebo controls.

Conditions

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
  • Hiatal Hernia

Interventions

DEVICE

TIF Transoral Fundoplication

A novel surgical technique that creates a gastric fundoplication and restores competency of the gastroesophageal valve now exists for patients who have limited anatomic defects (small hiatal hernia). This technique is performed transorally using the EsophyX device (EndoGastric Solutions, Inc. Redmond, WA, USA) recreates a gastric fundoplication at the gastroesophageal junction by creating a flap valve at the intersection of the stomach and the esophagus by deploying polypropylene SerosaFuse fasteners (EndoGastric Solutions)

OTHER

Sham placebo procedure

The Sham Procedure (control) will consist of an upper GI endoscopy that will be conducted under general anesthesia in an operating room. The surgical team will follow the same steps before, during, and after the sham procedure similar to the TIF procedure, except they will never insert the EsophyX device into the patient. The endoscope will be manipulated for 30-45 min as if the device were around it to simulate the effect of many rotations and manipulations on the esophagus.
