The Stretta treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure, to reshape the opening between the stomach and esophagus to relieve the symptoms of GERD, by restoring the barrier between the stomach and esophagus, thus preventing the acid from entering the esophagus and causing GERD symptoms.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common chronic digestive diseases, associated with a wide range of symptoms, typically heartburn, acid regurgitation, and dysphagia, while severely impairing health-related quality of life (HRQL)
It happens when the stomach acid and/or stomach content go back up into the throat, that's why it's called acid reflux, and over time it can damage the lining of the esophagus.
After swallowing, the muscles of the esophageal-gastric junction relax to allow food and liquids to enter the stomach. Then these muscles tighten and close again until the next swallow. It’s when these muscles weaken or relax abnormally that acid reflux can occur.
Being a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure, Stretta is considered a Day Case procedure that only takes about an hour to be performed and allows you to return to your normal activities within a day.
Because most GERD patients suffer from damage to the muscles that connect the esophagus to the stomach, the Stretta procedure helps strengthen these muscles, which results in better muscle control and fewer acid reflux episodes.
Despite the availability of other treatments for GERD (antacids, PPIs, and other medications with lifestyle changes, and also surgery), the Stretta procedure is considered to be more efficient than normal treatments, and of course, a non-surgical one.
The Stretta procedure is completely safe, with very few rate of documented complications.
