Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) is a minimally invasive procedure
to treat acid reflux, also known as heartburn, and other symptoms associated
with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
During the TIF procedure, a flexible, camera-equipped device is used to
reconstruct the valve between the stomach and esophagus. Transoral means
the procedure is done through the mouth with no incisions.
(When the Request an Appointment form is opened, select "General Surgery"
