Is transoral incisionless fundoplication safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safer, but...: It's considered more safe than actual surgery, but there are still risks of things like bleeding and perforation. The major concern about transoral anti-reflux procedures is how effective they'll be for controlling reflux. This is still a bit unclear, but most feel that it's not going to work as well as the actual operations would. The decision is best made on a case by case basis.
