CA 2396897

A heartburn and reflux disease treatment apparatus for surgical application in the abdomen of a patient comprises an adjustable restriction device (2) adapted to engage the stomach close to the cardia or esophagus to form a restricted food passageway in the stomach or esophagus of the patient. A post-operation adjustment device (12) is designed to mechanically adjust the restriction device, preferably in a non-invasive manner, to enlarge or restrict the food passageway. The treatment apparatus allows post-operation daily adjustments of the restriction device to enlarge the food passageway when the patient eats and to restrict or close the food passageway between meals.

Un dispositif de réglage postopératoire (12) permet d'ajuster mécaniquement le dispositif d'étranglement, de préférence d'une manière non invasive, afin d'agrandir ou de réduire le passage alimentaire. L'appareil de traitement permet des ajustements postopératoires journaliers du dispositif d'étranglement afin d'agrandir le passage alimentaire lorsque le patient s'alimente, et de le réduire ou de le fermer entre les repas.
