Transoral incisionless fundoplication for gastro-esophageal reflux disease: Techniques and outcomes

Figure 8 Symptomatic responses six months and 1-6 years after transoral incisionless fundoplication with Esophyx^® device, classified according to proton pump inhibitor use. Patients were grouped as complete responders [who completely stopped using proton pump inhibitor (PPI)] or partial responders (who halved the previous PPI dose) and non-responders (who still used the pre-TIF PPI dose): 12 mo vs 6 mo after TIF P = 0.8; 24 mo vs 12 mo, P = 0.4; 36 mo vs 24 mo, P = 0.7; 4 years vs 36 mo, P = 1.0; 5 years vs 4 years, P = 1.0; 6 years vs 5 years, P = 1.0.
