EndoBand: Endoscopic Band Ligation for Treating Reflux Disease (GERD)

GERD is a chronic disease the require different treatment modalities; non have proven long term efficacy with concerns about their safety. The use of band ligation in endoscopy appears safe, repeatable with short learning curve. Placing multiple bands at the Z-line can create a fibrous ring in the distal esophagus acting as a barrier against reflux of gastric content.
