881 multicenter comparative study of hiatal hernia repair with transoral incisionless fundoplication versus nissen fundoplication for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease

Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) is a lesser invasive endoscopic procedure for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) alternative tolaparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF). Many patients with GERD require hiatal hernia (HH) repair. The US Food and Drug Administration expanded the indication of TIF for patients with hiatal hernia> 2 cm with concomitant HH repair. Recent studies demonstrated favorable outcomes of TIF with HH repair. Data comparing this modality with conventional LNF is lacking.
