Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, December 14 (all-media reporter Li Qi correspondent Li Shan) repeated heartburn, acid reflux, the need to take long-term drugs to inhibit gastric acid secretion, but also difficult to cure, gastroesophageal reflux torments many patients. The reporter learned today from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Zhongnan University that the hospital recently implemented a case of "laparoscopic anti-gastroesophageal reflux device implantation", which took only 1 hour to help a patient with severe gastroesophageal reflux to install an "elastic ring" through surgery, which perfectly solved the patient's symptoms.
Xiangya Third Hospital is currently the first unit in Central And South China that can carry out surgery, providing a more advanced and minimally invasive new treatment method for the majority of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
"More than ten years of old problems have been cured, and I can finally eat a comfortable meal!" Today, Ms. Ouyang, 67, gave a thumbs up to the doctor. On December 8th, the team of Professor Li Xiaorong of the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University performed the first anti-gastroesophageal reflux device implantation surgery for her in Central South China, which lasted 1 hour, zero bleeding during the operation, and could eat on the same day. The heartburn and acid reflux problems that repeatedly tormented her were perfectly solved.

Ms. Ouyang is a "senior" gastroesophageal reflux disease patient, who needs to take a variety of oral drugs that inhibit stomach acid for a long time to relieve symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux, and drugs have been unable to alleviate these symptoms in the past 2 years, which seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly.
After receiving the treatment, Li Xiaorong's team decided to implement "laparoscopic anti-gastroesophageal reflux device implantation" for him. "Traditional fundoplication involves a laparoscopic technique in which a hole is punched in the abdomen, and then the gastroesophageal junction area is fully dissected using instruments to fold the gastric wall to act as a compression of the lower esophagus." Attending physician Lin Changwei introduced.
"Half of the surgery time is saved, and the damage is smaller, the normal anatomy is not changed, and the structure and function of the esophagus and the bottom of the stomach are completely preserved." According to reports, the intraoperative doctor uses 3D laparoscopy to accurately free the lower part of the patient's esophagus, and then according to the diameter of the patient's esophagus, individually selects the appropriate size of the "anti-gastroesophageal reflux device" and hangs it around the lower part of the esophagus. "Just like wearing an elastic ring on the esophagus, when eating, the strength of the food mass is enough to open the ring, but when not eating, the acid water that refluxes in the stomach is not enough to open the ring, thus cleverly solving the contradiction between anti-reflux and eating." Lin Changwei introduced.
Li Xiaorong revealed that the "anti-gastroesophageal reflux device" is a magnetic ring device that can strengthen the pressure of the lower esophagus on the United States in 2012, and has not been able to be introduced into China. Through the efforts of all parties, China finally has a self-developed "anti-gastroesophageal reflux device", which provides a more advanced and minimally invasive new treatment method for the majority of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
