Video Summary
The video features Dr. Amit Mehdio demonstrating the GERDEX procedure, an endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using an endoscopic full thickness placation technique. Dr. Mehdio explains that the GERDEX device consists of a handle, two arms, and a channel, and shows how the device is used to suture the tissue in the esophagogastric junction. He emphasizes that the procedure is mainly for patients with PPI-dependent GERD and that ideal candidates have Hill's grade 1 or 2 lax hiatus on endoscopic examination. Dr. Mehdio demonstrates the placement of the device, the suturing process, and the use of a thin endoscope for visualization. He also discusses different variations and techniques using the GERDEX device. The video concludes with appreciation for the user-friendliness and effectiveness of the device and an invitation for a Q&A session. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
