This animation demonstrates how the Stretta radiofrequency (RF) therapy is performed to surgically treat reflux without incisions. The Stretta system delivers low power, low temperature radiofrequency energy to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscle. This non-ablative energy is delivered to multiple different sites causing tissue remodeling resulting in improved barrier function and fewer random relaxations that cause reflux symptoms. RF energy has been shown to thicken the musculature …
