The EsophyX device is said to enable surgeons and advanced interventional gastroenterologists to offer their patients substantive anatomical repair without incisions (no skin or internal dissection) for front-line surgical management of GERD patients.
Todd Overcash, medical director of Bariatric and Minimally Invasive Surgery at Munroe Regional Medical Center in Ocala, Florida, said: “With no skin incisions, no cutting of vessels, and no dissection of the fundus, the EsophyX device represents a new era in antireflux treatment and offers patients an innovative, state-of-the-art surgical procedure that will allow them to no longer live their lives pill-to-pill.”
