Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF)

Definition

Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by reconstructing the antireflux barrier and reducing the backward flow of stomach contents into the esophagus. The procedure is performed using an endoscope inserted through the mouth, eliminating the need for external incisions.
