The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has published updated guidelines, emphasizing evidence-based diagnosis and management strategies for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Key recommendations include endoscopic evaluation for patients with alarm symptoms and lifestyle modifications. For those with confirmed GERD, proton pump inhibitors are advised at the lowest effective dose, while transoral incisionless fundoplication is suggested for select patients with small hiatal hernias. These guidelines aim to improve patient care through standardized evaluation and management approaches.
