L-ARMS is an effective and safe procedure for controlling GERD symptoms, esophageal acid exposure, and lower esophageal sphincter pressure, which can be performed endoscopically in a time-saving and simple manner.
Background Anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) is a choice for proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-dependent patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We present an extended anti-reflux mucosectomy, named ligation-assisted anti-reflux mucosectomy (L-ARMS). The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of the procedure and short-term outcomes on PPI use and symptom resolution. Methods Institutional review board approval was obtained for retrospective review of a prospectively collected database including patients who underwent L-ARMS. L-ARMS includes mucosa ligation and endoscopic mucosectomy without submucosal injection around the squamocolumnar junction. The GERD symptoms, endoscopy, 24-h pH monitoring results, and manometry were collected by chart review. Voluntary validated surveys assessed symptomatic improvement over time. Results There were 69 patients available for review. The procedure was technically completed in all cases with no severe complications, and the average operation time was 33 min. At 6 months after L-ARMS, treatment with PPIs had been halted in 55.1% of the patients, 30.4% of the enrolled patients used PPIs occasionally, and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, DeMeester scores, and GERD-health-related quality of life questionnaire (GERD-HRQL) scores showed a significant improvement compared with the baseline measurements (P < 0.001). Forty-five patients complained of mild dysphagia and were relieved in 4 weeks with no specific treatment. Compared to patients without dysphagia, patients complained of dysphagia after surgery had better clinical benefits indicated by GERD-HRQL and DeMeester score. Conclusions As a modified ARMS, L-ARMS is an effective procedure for controlling GERD symptoms, esophageal acid exposure, and LES pressure, which can be safely performed endoscopically in a time-saving and simple manner.
