Abstract
Apparatus for stimulating neuromuscular tissue of the gastrointestinal tract and methods for installing the apparatus to the surface of the neuromuscular tissue. A pair of electrodes are supported by an electrode attachment member having a distal surface configured for attachment to the surface of the neuromuscular tissue. The electrodes are supported adjacent the distal surface to provide an interface between the electrodes and the surface of the neuromuscular tissue. The electrode attachment member may be flexible to pass through a laparoscopic surgical access opening in a compacted form and then returned to an uncompacted form for attachment to the surface of the neuromuscular tissue by the use of staples or sutures.
