StomaphyX procedure is now available for individuals who have had previous gastric bypass surgery and who are regaining weight. StomaphyX involves no incisions and no recovery and involves placing an endoscope through the mouth into the stomach pouch. The connection between the stomach pouch and small intestines is then sutured resulting in slower emptying of the stomach and earlier satiety and more weight loss.

The StomaphyX device has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for transoral non-invasive tissue approximation (connection) and full-thickness plication (creation of folds) in the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It has been used frequently by bariatric surgeons to further reduce the volume of the small stomach pouch created by primary Bariatric procedures such as Roux-en-Y or Gastric Bypass procedures. Many patients experience weight regain due to the small stomach pouch stretching over time. The device is being studied in a prospective, randomized, sham controlled clinical study in order to collect data on this specific post bariatric / revisional use. Early investigator initiated, uncontrolled, clinical studies have demonstrated promising short term weight loss in selected, motivated patients.
