Comparative safety and efficacy of endoscopic band ligation versus endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for gastroesophageal reflux disease

Puntos clave

• Endoscopic band ligation shows greater efficacy in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease compared to endoscopic radiofrequency ablation, minimizing symptoms.
• In a cohort analysis of 150 patients over six months, band ligation demonstrated a 70% symptom resolution rate against 50% for radiofrequency ablation.
• Comparative observational analysis assesses outcomes from both treatment approaches in a single center, providing valuable insights into patient responses.
• Findings suggest that while both procedures are effective, endoscopic band ligation may offer a safer and more effective option for patients with certain profiles.
