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

Figure 4 Gastroscopic findings three months post-anti-reflux mucosectomy. Follow-up endoscopy revealed fibrotic changes and narrowing at the esophagogastric junction, consistent with the intended anti-reflux effect of mucosal scarring. The image shows typical post-anti-reflux mucosectomy appearance with reduced patency of the cardia, contributing to mechanical prevention of reflux.
