Without incisions and with minimal patient downtime, StomaphyX is a new procedure for bariatric surgery revision. Performed under endoscopic visualization, it is introduced into the body through the mouth. Once inside the stomach, the stomach wall is suctioned into the tissue port on the StomaphyX, creating a large plication. Non-resorbable fasteners are then deployed across the fold to hold the tissue in place.
Benefits:
Safe and atramatic
Customizable to patient needs
No external incisions and no internal dissection minimizes patient discomfort and shortens recovery
