Transoral incisionless fundoplication is a new treatment for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. We present our initial experience with 10 patients undergoing this procedure with varying past surgical histories. All procedures were performed under general nasotracheal anesthesia. RAND-36 and Visual Analog Scale symptom scores were collected at pre and postoperative appointments for a mean of 9.2 months. The mean procedure time was 68 minutes. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Patients with prior pancreaticoduodenectomy had observed reduced working space due to prior distal gastrectomy and required additional insufflation due to no pyloric resistance to insufflation of the small bowel. The patient with prior fundoplication required additional time and force for fastener penetration of the resultant scar from the partially disrupted fundoplication. All patients were discharged within 23 hours of the procedure. Throughout the follow-up period, patients reported gradual changes in medication requirements and symptom scores. There were no late complications. Transoral incisionless fundoplication is technically safe in well-selected patients including those with prior esophageal and gastric surgery.

Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) was introduced in 2006 as a concerted effort to produce a natural orifice procedure for reflux. Since that time, the device, as well as the procedure technique, has evolved. Significant research has been published during each stage of the evolution, and this has led to considerable confusion and a co-mingling of outcomes, which obscures the results of the current device and procedure. This report is intended to review the identified stages and literature associated with each stage to date and to review the current state of treatment outcomes.
