Video Summary
This video discusses the use of magnetic sphincter augmentation, also known as the LINX device, to treat reflux. The device consists of a band of metal magnetic beads placed around the lower esophageal sphincter. The beads, on an elastic band, relax and stretch during swallowing, allowing food to pass through. The device provides a buttressed lower esophageal sphincter, preventing reflux, while maintaining a more physiologic approach compared to traditional surgical methods. The video highlights the placement of the device and its effectiveness in reducing reflux symptoms. No credits were mentioned.
