TIF Preparing to Recreate the Flap Valve

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the TIF device, specifically the Asophix Z plus, and how it is used endoscopically to recreate a flat valve at the G junction. The goal is to achieve at least a three-centimeter length and a wrap of at least 270 degrees, as research has shown that going beyond 270 degrees can lead to normalization of acid exposure. The speaker emphasizes the importance of creating a true flat valve by properly placing sutures and pledges. They explain that the natural flat valve closes from the greater curve towards the lesser curve, and it is important to tighten the sling fibers while lengthening on the greater curve to ensure the valve functions correctly. The speaker also highlights the need for the corer and the flat valve to work in synergy. No credits were given in the transcript.
