The Plicator Procedure is is an exciting new,
non-surgical endoscopic treatment option for people who suffer from GERD..
The procedure is performed on an out-patient basis and most patients are
able to resume their normal activities in 24 hours. Some of the advantages
of the Plicator Procedure include:
-
Done on an out-patient basis, there is no need for a hospital stay.
-
Since there are no incisions, normal activities can usually be resumed
the next day.
-
Cost of procedure is much less compared to conventional surgery for GERD
(about $15,000 for surgery ).
-
Expensive, daily medications (cost of daily medication can be over $2,000
per year) required for GERD can be reduced or entirely eliminated.
