TIF® Procedure

The TIF® (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) medical procedure can effectively treat the root cause of moderate to severe GERD and fills the treatment gap between pharmacological therapy and more traditional invasive surgical options.

The TIF procedure is not performed through an incision, but transorally. With this technology, the anti-reflux valve at the gastroesophageal junction is restored to proper valve function. The procedure generally takes less than one hour, and most patients can return to normal activity within 1-3 days. Clinical studies show that 80% of patients remain off daily PPIs at three years following the procedure.

Importantly, the TIF 2.0 procedure has repeatedly been proven to avoid post-fundoplication symptoms such as gas bloat, flatulence, dysphagia, and diarrhea.
