Abstract
The new endoscopic suturing device allows a feasible and safe technique for application of endoscopic sutures. The procedure could be performed on an outpatient basis by using sedation with propofol. However, the clinical outcome was very limited because of the high number of lost or failed plications. Thus, the ESD currently cannot be recommended in the treatment of patients with GERD.
