Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) is a procedure that aims to restore the integrity of the gastroesophageal valve by creating a wrap around the distal esophagus, without surgical incisions. It helps prevent stomach acid from entering the esophagus, and it can be performed using an endoscope or laparoscopic [surgery](https://www.schneckmed.org/medical-services/surgery).
