Stomaphyx
StomaphyX™
The Stomaphyx procedure is a new endoscopic procedure that can help close the size of the existing stomach pouch. It is not performed as a stand along weight loss procedure, but as a type of revision for patients who have had the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
It is designed for patients who either experience weight gain after gastric bypass or feel they could lose additional weight after surgery if they had more restriction.
The Stomaphyx procedure is minimally invasive and can reduce the size of the stomach pouch.
