Summary
This study is not testing a new treatment. Instead, it follows 500 people who already had a procedure called TIF (transoral incisionless fundoplication) for acid reflux. Researchers will collect data from medical records to see how symptoms and quality of life change over time. The goal is to better understand the long-term effects of this no-incision surgery.
