How Endoscopic Radiofrequency (Stretta) is performed
Under endoscopic guidance, radiofrequency energy is delivered in a circumferential, multi-point manner to the esophagogastric junction, aiming to improve sphincter compliance and local neuromuscular response. The common practice involves inserting a dedicated catheter through the mouth, applying energy point by point according to preset parameters, and monitoring temperature and safety parameters. Postoperative observation of swallowing and pain, with gradual resumption of diet, aims to relieve reflux symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
