Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Surgical Technology

Background:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) often requires medical management, but some patients need surgical intervention.
Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) is a newer technology proposed as an alternative to traditional fundoplication for GERD.
Experience has shown that removal of MSA devices is sometimes required.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the technical steps for performing a robotic removal of a magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) device.
To provide a video demonstration of the robotic MSA device removal procedure.

Main Methods:

Robotic surgical approach for MSA device explantation.
Detailed description of the surgical technique and steps involved.
Video documentation of the procedure.

Keywords:

GERD LINX magnetic sphincter augmentation reflux robot
