StomaphyX Procedure/Endoscopic Surgery



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 a specialized medical device. Using 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 that laparoscopic procedures
• Endoscope is flexible for atraumatic insertion


Dr. Goodman is always at the cutting edge of bariatric technology, and StomaphyX incisionless gastrointestinal surgery is a procedure for the correction of bariatric patients. Dr. Elliot Goodman of Beth Israel Medical Center has been helping the obese since 1997. Call him today for more information on StomaphyX.
