Core Tip	Antireflux mucosectomy is an endoscopic antireflux procedure showing promising results in pa-tients with refractory gastroesophageal reflux. Over the scope clips and esophageal stents permit safe endoscopic closure of esophagogastric defects, decreasing the requirement for surgical intervention. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy allows the precise performance of endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of spastic esophageal motility disorders with the efficacy of a surgical myo-tomy without the associated surgical morbidity. Per-oral endoscopic tumor resection enables en bloc endoscopic removal of subepithelial tumors (SETs) and is both a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention for esophageal SETs. These techniques will expand the boundaries of therapeutic endoscopy, decrease the need for surgical intervention, and improve patient outcomes.
