ASGE Esophagology: Tailoring Management from Testing to Treatment (Live and Virtual) | July 2022-Esophagology Virtual Demonstration 5

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a demonstration of the Esophix XZ device for the management of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). The device is used to create a gastroesophageal plication and fundoplication, which involves retracting the esophageal wall to increase the length of the lip valve. The device fires T fasteners to create the fundoplication. The fasteners are loaded into a cartridge and delivered into the esophagus and stomach. The device also includes a tissue mold and helical retractor to capture and pull the GE junction into the tissue mold. The video explains the steps of loading the fasteners, engaging the GE junction, rotating the device to create a wrap, and firing the fasteners. The T fasteners hold the wrap in place and create a high-pressure system to reduce reflux. The video concludes with acknowledgments and an invitation for questions.
