Anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) results in improved recovery and similar reflux quality of life outcomes compared to laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication
ConclusionWhile ARMS had better perioperative outcomes compared to NF, reflux quality of life outcomes were comparable. ARMS can be an effective endoscopic intervention for GERD when performed on appropriately selected patients without limiting future laparoscopic anti-reflux interventions.
