Because gastroesophageal reflux patients suffer from pain and burning in the chest even after continuing to take antacid drugs for several years, and it is known that some difficult cases may require surgical intervention to treat the condition and there are good results for this operation, but as everyone knows, the patient is exposed to the risk of the operation Surgical procedures, including anesthesia, and there are cases that need to take therapeutic drugs even after surgery, and a medical team in Italy conducted a treatment study for gastroesophageal reflux disease in animals published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology

Where the team implanted a valve under the inner lining of the esophagus at the level of the lower esophageal sphincter, which is two pieces of magnets that have several shapes, sizes and forces that can be controlled according to each case. The endoscope, and due to the fact that the idea is modern, the experiment was applied to animals, and the researchers noticed the change in the amount of pressure at the level of the valve implanted in the esophagus compared to before the implantation significantly, so that it prevents gastric juice from reaching the esophagus in a kinetic manner (not proven like some methods used surgically Or by endoscopy), and the team recommended conducting studies of this kind on humans to know their impact on such cases that can be used in the future in treating chronic gastroesophageal reflux patients and in difficult cases in particular.
