The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for treating obesity. A tube is positioned that passes through a patient~s abdominal wall into the upper digestive system of the patient. The patient is allowed to carry out his/her everyday affairs including ingesting food. After the patient has ingested food, the food is extracted by pumping it out of the upper digestive system through the tube. The present invention is less invasive than current surgical procedures for reducing weight and allows patients to live a normal and active lifestyle without experiencing adverse side effects.
L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de traitement de l'obésité. Un tube est positionné de manière à passer à travers la paroi abdominale d'un patient dans le système digestif supérieur de celui-ci. Le patient peut poursuivre ses activités quotidiennes, notamment l'ingestion d'aliments. Une fois que le patient a ingéré les aliments, ceux-ci sont extraits par pompage hors du système digestif supérieur par le biais du tube. L'appareil selon l'invention est moins invasif que les interventions chirurgicales actuelles permettant de diminuer le poids et permettant aux patients de vivre une vie normale et d'avoir un mode de vie actif sans effets secondaires.
