Heartburn / GERD Solutions
Mills-Peninsula is one of the first Northern California organizations to offer the innovative EsophyX TIF procedure. EsophyX TIF (transoral incisionless fundoplication) is the latest treatment for safely and effectively treating chronic acid reflux disease, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A completely incisionless procedure, EsophyX TIF reconstructs the antireflux barrier to provide a solution to the anatomical root cause of GERD.
If you have heartburn twice a week or more, you may have acid reflux disease.
What is GERD?
Normally, after you swallow, a valve between the esophagus and stomach opens to allow food to pass, then it closes to prevent stomach contents from refluxing into the esophagus.
GERD is reflux and regurgitation of the contents of the stomach into the esophagus that is frequent and severe enough to impact daily life and may even damage the esophagus. This reflux is not only painful and uncomfortable, but can burn the esophagus, cause chronic inflammation, and can lead to major damage and cancer of the esophagus. GERD is one of the most common diseases, with over millions of people worldwide experiencing symptoms at least once a month. Over 60% of the elderly have frequent GERD, and several million have GERD symptoms every single day. EndoGastric Solutions is committed to helping people with GERD find long-term solutions through minimally invasive devices and procedures.
