Rogers Urges Caution on New Medical Device to Treat GERD
U.S. News - Feb 22, 2013
A recent
study in the New England Journal of Medicine touts a new
medical device for the treatment of
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) as an alternative
to standard therapy, long-term proton-pump inhibitors or
Nissen Fundoplication. The
new treatment is a surgical procedure in which a small band of
magnetic beads is surgically implanted to augment the lower esophageal
sphincter, the valve
between the esophagus and stomach. But Stanley J. Rogers, M.D., Associate Professor of Surgery at UCSF, Chief of Minimally Invasive Surgery, and Chief of Bariatric Surgery, expressed concern about its use, telling CBS/KCBS News Healthwatch that the device was essentially untested except for the small study cited above. He cautioned that the beads were a foreign object and where the device was placed could potentially cause serious complications including infection, perforation and abdominal sepsis, leading to ultimate removal. He emphasized that long-term data was needed to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness.
