The Stretta procedure is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure for patients with mild to moderate gastroesophaegeal reflux disease (GERD).  It is a non-surgical procedure that is performed through the mouth and esophagus, involves no cutting or sewing, and leaves no skin incisions or scars.  The procedure typically takes 60 minutes or less.  Most patients are able to return to normal activities the following day and discontinue drug therapy within one month.
