The food eaten into the stomach regurgitates from time to time, bringing a feeling of acid reflux and heartburn, and ms. Gao, 40, has been plagued by this problem for more than three years, and because it cannot be eradicated for a long time, people even have depression tendencies. Fortunately, the doctor recently successfully helped her relieve this pain through an operation, and it is understood that this operation is the first case in Zhejiang Province.
Ms. Gao suffered from gastroesophageal reflux more than 3 years ago, often felt acid reflux, heartburn, although taking drugs, but the control effect is not satisfactory, seriously affecting the quality of life, people also become very anxious.
Wang Zhifei, chief physician of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery and minimally invasive surgery of the Provincial People's Hospital
All the acid-making drugs and anti-reflux drugs on the market were eaten, at first the effect was good, and then the effect was not good, she was very painful, and wanted to solve it through surgery, but she felt that the traditional surgery she was a little afraid, hoping that there could be no new technology.
According to the doctor, under normal circumstances, after the food enters the stomach from the esophagus, it will not regurgitate up, but if the tissue at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach is too loose, it is equivalent to the valve being loose, and the food in the stomach will flow upstream and enter the esophagus, mouth, etc. Therefore, during the operation, the doctor put a magnetic ring on the connection between Ms. Gao's esophagus and stomach, which is equivalent to setting up a valve that can only be lowered.
When we eat, there will be swallowing movements, the esophagus will squirm, and the food will slowly come down. The esophagus opens the magnetic ring, the food enters the stomach, if there is reflux, the force of pushing is much smaller than the force of the esophageal peristalsis, the magnetic ring cannot be opened, this operation is a minimally invasive operation, about fifteen minutes can be completed, after the operation Ms. Gao feels that the state is very good.
Patient Ms. Gao
It feels good, I feel that the operation is very successful, I don't have any special feelings, I was a little tangled before, and now I don't feel the magnetic ring in the body, I feel that drinking water is very smooth.
Compared with the traditional method of folding the stomach floor, the placement of magnetic rings does not require changes to the physiological structure of the patient's digestive tract, and there is less trauma and faster postoperative recovery. At present, a total of 56 such operations have been performed nationwide, and Ms. Gao's case is the first case in Zhejiang Province.
