| Hey guys. I have just seen this testimony on tv about a patient who
tried plicator procedure. According to the report, many patients begin
considering surgery, but now, there's a new non-surgical option that
may offer relief. Medications didn't help so cynthia talked to her
doctor about the new plicator procedure. The technique requires a
single suture and a revolutionary instrument that can turn 180 degrees.
The procedure takes about 30 minutes. Patients are under conscious
sedation and can go home the same day. Check this out:

It's interesting technology, but the results of the plicator are generally
inferior to the Stretta procedure in the treatment of GERD.
