6.1 The Committee was advised that the mechanism of action of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is a subject of continuing debate. It noted concern on the part of some specialists about the possibility that symptoms may improve as a result of denervation caused by the procedure; if that were the case then failure to recognise and treat reflux might lead to complications in the long term.
