Abstract Background Anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) is a new endoscopic procedure involving a hemi-circumferential endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) around the gastroesophageal junction. We aim to compare perioperative and quality of life outcomes of patients with reflux who underwent ARMS to a comparable group who underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (NF). Methods A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained quality database was performed. All patients who underwent ARMS (n = 33) were matched with patients who underwent NF (n = 67). Clinical and quality of life (QOL) outcomes were collected preoperatively and up to two years postoperatively, measured by the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL), and Dysphagia Score. Outcomes were compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum and Fisher’s exact test. Results While 10 patients (30.3%) who underwent ARMS required additional laparoscopic anti-reflux operations, the ARMS group had shorter OR time (p
