Anti-reflux mucosectomy is associated with better short-term symptoms than double-dose proton pump inhibitor in reflux esophagitis patients

Figure 2 Endoscopic views of the anti-reflux mucosectomy procedure. A: Endoscopic view of the esophagogastric junction showing mild dilation of the cardia; B: Marking of the resection margin along the lesser curvature, covering half the circumference; C: Submucosal injection to lift the mucosa; D: Mucosal incision using endoscopic submucosal dissection technique; E: Submucosal dissection progressing toward the gastric side; F: Completion of semicircular mucosectomy along the lesser curvature; G: Final view of the mucosal defect after resection, expected to result in scar-induced tightening of the esophagogastric junction.
