| | | | Company Description | | EndoGastric Solutions (formerly EsophyX) recently announced that a clinical team led by Professor Guy-Bernard Cadière from the University of Brussels performed the first trans-oral incision-less fundoplication procedure. Seven patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were successfully treated with this procedure that involves inserting a device through the mouth and into the stomach to access and reconstruct the gastroesophageal valve, thereby preventing stomach reflux. Since there currently are no effective methods of curing GERD without abdominal incisions and surgical manipulation of the stomach and esophagus, performance of these procedures represents a significant medical advancement. | |
