Endoscopic ARMS & GERDx

Endoscopic ARMS and GERDx

Endoscopic ARMS

Endoscopic ARMS (Anti-Reflux Mucosal Resection)

ARMS is a cutting-edge, incisionless procedure performed via endoscopy. A portion of the mucosal lining at the gastroesophageal junction is resected, which helps tighten the junction and reduce reflux.
Best suited for: Patients with mild to moderate GERD who want a non-surgical alternative.

Using a laparoscopic or endoscopic approach, I provide personalized treatment plans based on each patient’s unique condition, symptoms, and diagnostic findings. These procedures help strengthen the valve between the stomach and esophagus, reducing acid backflow and offering lasting relief from heartburn, regurgitation, and dependence on medication.

ARMS

Advantages

  • No external cuts or stitches
  • Quick recovery
  • Performed as a day-care procedure

GERDx Procedure

GERDx is a novel endoscopic treatment for GERD where sutures are placed at the lower esophagus using a special device. It recreates a natural anti-reflux valve, providing effective symptom control.

GERDx offers:

  • Endoscopic, incision-free solution
  • Relief from chronic heartburn
  • Quick return to normal activities
  • Ideal for selected patients not responding well to medication

FAQs

A: ARMS (Anti-Reflux Mucosectomy) and GERDx are advanced endoscopic procedures that treat chronic acid reflux (GERD) without external cuts. These techniques help tighten the weak valve between the esophagus and stomach, preventing acid from flowing back. Dr. Prashant Verma is among the few surgeons in India offering both procedures for patients who don’t respond to medication.

A: ARMS में एंडोस्कोपी के ज़रिए फूड पाइप के नीचे की परत को आंशिक रूप से हटाया जाता है जिससे वहाँ नैचुरल स्कार टिशू बनता है और एसिड ऊपर नहीं चढ़ पाता। GERDx में एक विशेष suturing device से फूड पाइप और पेट के जंक्शन को टाइट किया जाता है—दोनों ही तकनीक सर्जरी के बिना GERD का इलाज करती हैं।

A: You may be a candidate if you:
Have chronic GERD not relieved by medications
Experience night reflux, sour burps, or throat discomfort
Have reflux after bariatric (sleeve) surgery
Want to avoid conventional surgery like fundoplication
Dr. Verma performs a detailed evaluation with endoscopy and pH testing to decide the best-fit option.

A: नहीं, ये दोनों ही दर्द रहित और डे-केयर प्रक्रियाएं हैं। मरीज को हल्की बेहोशी दी जाती है, और 1–2 घंटे बाद होश आ जाता है। अधिकतर मरीज उसी दिन डिस्चार्ज हो जाते हैं।

A: In expert hands like Dr. Verma’s, up to 80–90% of patients experience significant improvement or complete relief from symptoms. Most patients reduce or stop antacid medicines completely within a few weeks.

A: Dr. Verma is among the few surgeons in India trained in both ARMS & GERDx. He uses high-definition video endoscopy and international-standard tools to perform these procedures safely in Ahmedabad, Jabalpur, and Nagpur—with minimal recovery time and personalized follow-up.
