Gastroesophageal Reflux Magnetic Bead Surgery Results

Gastroesophageal Reflux Magnetic Bead Surgery is effective in preventing reflux of gastric contents by utilizing magnetic force. Gastroesophageal reflux is caused by dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter and other causes of reflux of gastric contents. In this procedure, a magnetic bead is strung together with a magnetic ring and implanted laparoscopically into the lower esophageal sphincter. When no food is consumed, the attraction between the magnetic beads closes the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing reflux of gastric contents. The magnetic beads can be separated when food is swallowed without interfering with eating. The procedure does not alter the normal physiology of the esophagus and generally has no effect on the diagnosis and treatment of other diseases. The procedure is generally minimally invasive and performed laparoscopically, resulting in less trauma to the patient and quicker postoperative recovery. The magnetic force can generally work for a long time, and there are no significant other side effects, and the surgery is reversible. However, the procedure is not mature in China at present, carried out less, clinical efficacy needs to be further observed, the specific surgical effect can consult a professional doctor.
