Anti-Reflux Mucosectomy (ARMS) – A Modern Endoscopic Solution for GERD at VGM Gastro Centre
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disorder where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and complications. At VGM Gastro Centre, we offer Anti-Reflux Mucosectomy (ARMS)—an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for patients with reflux who are not responding to medication.
Performed entirely via endoscopy, ARMS strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), thereby reducing reflux and improving quality of life—without the need for external incisions or long hospital stays.
Thankfully, ARMS offers a scar-free, effective solution for long-term GERD relief and faster patient recovery.
Here’s how ARMS is performed effectively:
- Performed using high-definition endoscopic equipment
- No external cuts or stitches involved
- Helps tighten the weakened lower esophageal sphincter
- Patients can resume oral intake within 6–8 hours post-procedure
- Shorter hospital stay and faster return to daily life
Early intervention with ARMS can provide lasting relief from acid reflux and help avoid long-term esophageal damage. If you or a loved one suffers from persistent heartburn or reflux symptoms, consult our expert team at VGM Gastro Centre today.
