“…Its use in medical applications dates back to 1936, when it was utilized in dental prostheses. Substances which are chemically related to PMMA (polydimethylsiloxane = Macroplastique; polytetrafluoroethylene = Teflon) have furthermore been used in urology to treat urethral sphincter deficiency after radical prostatectomy as well as in plastic surgery to treat skin defects and wrinkles [36]. The use of PMMA injection at the EGJ for treatment of GERD is still in its initial phase.…”

“…The PMMA solution for injection at the EGJ is heated to decrease its viscosity. Multiple injections are performed 1 to 2 cm above the squamocolumnar junction (Z-line), thereby augmenting the esophageal folds, aiming at their close approximation [36,37].…”

“…Eine intradermale und subkutane Implantation von PMMA gilt als sicher und wurde bei mehr als 400 000 Patienten zur Korrektur von Gesichtsfalten verwendet [37][38][39]. Bisher gibt es bei Refluxkrankheit nur eine einzige Studie mit 10 Patienten mit einem positiven Ergebnis ohne schwerwiegende Komplikationen [40]. Weitere klinische In einer weiteren Studie mit einer Beobachtungszeit von 2 Jahren zeigte sich bei 64% der Patienten eine Symptombesserung; bei 71% konnte die tägliche Antisekretionsstherapie beendet werden.…”
