Endoscopy Live: GERD & Barrett's Esophagus: The Journey Continues

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features Dr. Nagi Reddy demonstrating an anti-reflux mucosal ablation procedure known as AMA. Dr. Reddy is accompanied by colleagues Dr. Rakesh, Dr. Santosh, and Dr. Harnath. The procedure is performed on a young female patient with 3S reflux and H.L.2 grade detected during upper GI endoscopy. The plan is to perform an AMA procedure, which involves creating a burn mucosal ablation on the lesser curve, leaving a small section intact to prevent complete stenosis. Dr. Reddy explains the technique and demonstrates the procedure using an APC catheter and an Olympus EZ 1500 scope. He emphasizes the importance of preserving the greater curve to avoid stenosis and discusses patient selection criteria. The video also touches on post-procedure instructions, follow-up care, and the potential benefits of AMA compared to other anti-reflux procedures like Gerdex and TIFF. Overall, the video presents an overview of the AMA procedure, highlighting its simplicity, safety, and potential for wider adoption among gastroenterologists. No credits were given in the transcript.
