Endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (IPG753)
Evidence-based recommendations on endoluminal gastroplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves an endoscopic fastening device being inserted through the mouth and into the stomach, along with an endoscope for constant visualisation. The device is used to attach the fundus to the anterior and left lateral wall of the distal oesophagus slightly above the oesophagogastric junction.

Laparoscopic insertion of a magnetic ring for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (IPG749)
Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic insertion of a magnetic ring for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. This involves placing a ring of beads outside of the food pipe, just above the stomach. Magnets inside the beads hold them together to keep the food pipe closed but are weak enough to move apart to allow food or liquid to be swallowed. The aim is to prevent acid reflux.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage for biliary obstruction (IPG761)
Evidence-based recommendations on endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage for biliary obstruction. This involves passing a thin tube (called an endoscope) with an ultrasound probe at the tip through the mouth and into the stomach or small intestine. The blockage is located using sound waves and punctured. A short, wire mesh tube that acts like a scaffold (called a stent) is then inserted into the blocked duct. This allows bile to drain into the gut.
