EsophyX™ is a new incisionless procedure to prevent pain from acid reflux. Reflux disease, in addition to being a potential cause of esophageal cancer and other diseases of the oesophagus and throat, is painful and unpredictable. Heartburn and searing pain that seems to be rising in the chest can be definite signs of Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disease or GORD. Surgeries are available so that you needn't rely on medication but are generally quite invasive. When performed by Dr. Elliot Goodman, an expert in gastric disorders and bariatric surgery at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, NYC, GORD from a failed gastroesophageal (GE) valve can be reduced or stopped altogether.

EsophyX™ is an incisionless procedure that recreates a functional GE valve. An endoscope is run down the oesophagus where suction pulls a flap of tissue down in order to guard the oesophageal opening from the harmful effects of stomach acid. Fasteners keep the tissue permanently in place where it will eventually fuse to function naturally. At the end of recovery, a protective barrier prevents acid reflux and the symptoms that go along with it.
Common indications of Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) include the following:

• Heartburn
• Inflammation or ulceration of the oesophagus
• Hoarseness or sore throat
• Persistent cough
• Excessive clearing of the throat
• Intolerance to certain foods
• Pain or discomfort in the chest

Have you had a bariatric surgical procedure and the weight is starting to come back after all you've gone through? It does happen, and the ill effects on the health that come with being overweight or obese are just as likely to return with it. With a StomaphyX™ incisionless procedure, a correction can be made to your gastrointestinal tract with even shorter recovery than laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Elliot Goodman has performed bariatric surgeries at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, NYC since 2004, and been involved in bariatrics since 1997.

Sometimes, after a gastric bypass surgery or other bariatric procedure, the stomach can stretch itself back to its original size. Often, without the proper diet regulation and exercise, it is just a matter of time. Patients who have lost considerable weight through stomach stapling or the LAP BAND suddenly regain the unhealthy weight they had previously lost. Obesity surgery does change and save lives, but it is not foolproof and adjustments are sometimes necessary. That's where StomaphyX™ comes in.

StomaphyX™ incisionless gastrointestinal surgery uses endoscopic tools that require no cutting of the body and even less down time than laparoscopy. Vacuum suction pulls the stomach wall into aUsing a series of fasteners that cinch up the stomach walls, the maximum volume of the stomach decreases and caloric intake falls with it.

The advantages of StomaphyX™ are as follows:

• No incisions
• Adjustable or revisable transorally to preserve future treatment possibilities
• Minimizes patient loss of time, even less than laparoscopic procedures
• Endoscope is flexible for atraumatic insertion
