stretta
Stretta therapy is a minimally invasive, safe and effective procedure that significantly reduces GERD symptoms and esophageal acid exposure, improving the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic reflux.
Recommended for patients, who:
-
Patients who do not respond or are intolerant to PPI drugs.
-
Patients who do not wish to have surgery or an implant
-
Patients with non-erosive reflux (ERNE)
-
Patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (RLP)
-
Bariatric patients with sleeve or gastric bypass.
-
Patients with recurrent post-nissen reflux (fundoplication)
Stretta treats temporary relaxations of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES)
How does it work?
The treatment is based on radiofrequency stimulation to proliferate interstitial cells, causing the strengthening of muscle tone.
Profits:
-
Reduction in the use of antireflux medications from 4-6 months
-
Setbacks and prevention of esophageal diseases with oesophagitis and Barrett's, reducing the probability of future cancer.
