Description
し、患者の胃の噴門切痕が患者の横隔膜に向かって移動するのを制限し、それにより、噴門が滑脱(スライド)して患者の横隔膜開口部を通り患者の胸腔内に入るのを防ぎ、患者の噴門括約筋に対する患者の腹部から加えられる支持圧力を維持する。固定デバイスは、移動制限デバイスを前記位置に固定するように構成される。
でない材料から作ることができる。
填するための、外壁および中空圧縮内部を備えることができる。
情報を内部制御ユニットに送信し、次いで、内部制御ユニットは、センサからのそのような情報に応答して刺激を停止する。
装置を備えることと、前記装置を動作させて逆流治療デバイスを調節することとをさらに含むことができる。逆流治療デバイスの調節は、埋め込まれたときに充填体の体積を変えることを含むことができる。この目的のために、これらの方法は、埋め込まれた充填体内に注入するための流体を入れた噴射型注射器を備えることと、一定体積の流体を充填体に注入することとを含むことができる。好ましくは、これらの方法は、デバイスを袋に封入することを含む。一実施形態では、この方法では、袋を少なくとも部分的に開いておき、これにより、袋が開口部を1つだけ示すか、袋が2つの開口部を示し、胃の周りに非円周的に延在するようにできる。一般的に、袋の容積は15ミリリットル超であることが好ましい。
成するステップと、移動制限デバイスを腹腔内に導入するステップと、デバイスを穴に通し、胃内に導入するステップと、デバイスを胃底壁の外側に置くステップと、胃底壁の外側に留置されるデバイスを固定するステップと、噴門が滑脱して患者の横隔膜開口部を通り患者の胸腔内に入るのを防ぎ、患者の噴門括約筋を支持する患者の腹部からの支持圧力を維持するステップとを含む。この方法は、縫合糸またはステープラを施すことによってデバイスを胃底壁に固定するステップをさらに含むことができる。

施形態では、膨張可能逆流治療デバイス310の容積は、1つまたは複数の好ましくはより小さな膨張可能なデバイスまたは室10bと流体で連通することができる。これらの室は、室と室との間で移動する流体または空気と連通するように構成される。
定される。第2のチューブの寸法は、容積充填デバイス399と引き伸ばしデバイス350内の圧力が流体を引き伸ばしデバイス350内に注入してから3時間後に平衡状態に戻り満腹感を生じさせるように決められることが好ましい。
、このような方法について説明する。図54には、患者の腹部に切開部380を形成することにより胃にどのように接近するかが示されている。図55には、患者の腹部に器具381をどのように挿入するかが示されている。説明されている器具および方法はどれも、この目的に合わせて選択し、構成することができる。したがって、例えば、逆流治療デバイスを図1Aに示されているように胃の外側に、または図2Aに示されているように胃の内側に留置することができる。後者の場合には、胃の壁を切開する。
