Abstract
A heartburn and reflux disease treatment apparatus includes an adjustable restriction device implanted in a patient and engaging the stomach close to the cardia or engaging the esophagus to form a restricted food passageway in the stomach or esophagus. An adjustment device is implanted in the patient for adjusting the restriction device to restrict and enlarge the passageway and a hydraulic operation device is implanted in the patient for operating the adjustment device. By using a wireless remote control the patient can control the hydraulic operation device, whereby the restriction device works like an artificial sphincter.
