1 DaysARMS is ideal for patients who suffer from persistent acid reflux despite lifestyle changes and medications like PPIs. It is especially useful for patients without a large hiatal hernia and those seeking an incision-free alternative to surgery.
Using an endoscope inserted through the mouth, doctors remove a small circular section of the inner lining (mucosa) at the lower esophagus. This triggers a healing response that tightens the junction and helps prevent stomach acid from flowing backward.
Patients are usually monitored for a few hours or kept overnight. Most return to daily activities within 2–3 days, making it a quick and convenient option for reflux treatment.

Unlike surgical fundoplication, ARMS requires no external cuts, shorter recovery, and fewer complications. It preserves the stomach's anatomy and can be repeated or combined with other treatments if needed.
Though generally safe, ARMS may cause temporary chest discomfort, swallowing difficulty, or mild bleeding. Rare complications include strictures, which can be treated endoscopically. Proper patient selection and skilled endoscopists reduce risks significantly.
After ARMS, patients follow a gradual diet plan—starting with liquids and moving to soft, then solid foods over days. Most report significant reduction in reflux symptoms, less dependence on acid-suppressing medications, and an improved quality of life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle enhances long-term success.
