ARMA (Anti-reflux Mucosal Ablation)
A cutting-edge solution for reflux management with long-term relief.
What is ARMA?
Anti-Reflux Mucosal Ablation (ARMA) is a cutting-edge procedure designed to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and the damage caused by chronic acid reflux. This minimally invasive treatment targets and ablates (destroys) the abnormal mucosal tissue that develops due to the long-term effects of acid reflux, improving symptoms and preventing further damage to the esophagus.
At KIMS Advanced Gastroenterology & Endoscopy - KAGE, we offer ARMA as an advanced, safe, and effective solution for GERD patients suffering from persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation, and esophageal damage. This procedure provides long-lasting relief, with a significantly lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.
If you’re dealing with GERD and the damaging effects it can have on your esophagus, ARMA may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

How ARMA Works
- Endoscopic Access
The procedure is performed using an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera that allows the doctor to view the inside of the esophagus in real-time.
- Targeted Mucosal Ablation
The doctor uses specialized tools to deliver energy to the abnormal mucosal tissue, effectively removing or destroying the damaged cells caused by acid reflux. This process helps to reduce the irritation and inflammation in the esophagus.
- Healing and Regeneration
After the ablation, the esophagus begins to heal and regenerate, replacing the damaged tissue with healthy mucosal lining. This not only improves symptoms but also helps to prevent further damage caused by acid reflux.
- Post-Procedure Care
ARMA is minimally invasive, meaning most patients can return home the same day. A follow-up plan is provided to monitor healing and symptom relief.
