The Stretta procedure is increasingly offered as first-line therapy before more invasive surgical procedures for selected patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Although a new addition to the clinical armamentarium, thus far the Stretta procedure appears to be a safe and effective technology for the treatment of GERD, with well-documented clinical trial data supporting its efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction.
