[Motility Disorders and Gastresophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).]



[Clinical Services.]

 
 



The GI Motility Program offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with motility disorders.

Procedures are performed with solid-state catheters, or in the case of the Bravo system, ambulatory, 24- and 48-hour pH testing without the discomfort of a transnasal catheter.

New endoscopic treatments for GERD are successfully performed on an outpatient basis.

Advanced laparoscopic therapy completes the entire spectrum of the latest modalities. Treatments for patients with pelvic diseases, such as female fecal incontinence, are a major focus.
