Stretta Therapy is a minimally invasive effective outpatient procedure. For those who suffer from chronic heartburn and are considering a surgical intervention, Stretta may be an optimal and less invasive option for you.
— 45 minute procedure
— Outpatient, no hospital stay
— 1-2 days back to work
Patients receive conscious sedation (the same sedation used for your endoscopy procedure) and the Stretta Catheter is passed through the mouth, so there are no visible cuts or scars as a result of the procedure. Patients typically go home 1-2 hours after the procedure. Most patients are able to return to work and their normal activities the day after treatment, so there is minimal interruption to everyday life.
NISSEN FUNDOPLACATION
This laparoscopic surgery involves wrapping the stomach around the esophagus to improve the barrier function of the lower esophageal sphincter.
— 2-4 hour procedure
— General anesthesia
— 1-4 day hospital stay
— 1-3 weeks back to work
3D HD ESOPHAGEAL MANOMETRY
Esophageal manometry is a test that measures how well your esophagus is functioning. It measures the contractions in your esophagus when you swallow as well the force exerted by the muscles in your esophagus. Esophageal Manometry is performed with the use of a catheter containing sensors that is passed through your nose, down your esophagus and into your stomach.
GASTROPARESIS
Gastroparesis is a stomach disorder in which food moves through the stomach more slowly than normal. In a healthy digestive system, strong muscular contractions move food from the stomach through the digestive tract. With gastroparesis, however, the stomach muscles work poorly (or not at all), thus preventing the stomach from emptying properly and, in some people, resulting in serious nausea and vomiting that cannot be adequately controlled with standard medications.
ENTERRA ELECTRICAL STIMULATOR (GASTRIC PACEMAKER)
The world’s first gastric electrical stimulation therapy, delivered by the Medtronic Enterra II system, may improve symptoms of chronic nausea and vomiting and offer hope for a better quality of life when conventional drug therapies fail or cannot be tolerated. Enterra Therapy is not a cure.
BENIGN & MALIGNANT STOMACH TUMORS
Benign and malignant gastric or stomach tumors are removed through a minimally invasive surgery to reduce recover time and complications.
