    摘要: A method for affixing a fundus portion of the stomach of a human patient to the patient's esophagus is disclosed. The method comprises folding the fundus portion towards the esophagus such that the fundus portion rests against the esophagus, from the angle of His and upwards along the esophagus, and affixing the fundus portion to the esophagus by means of fasteners arranged along a first line and a second line. The first line and the second line extend along the esophagus and are arranged such that a distance between the first line and the second line increases with an increasing distance from the angle of His. The method can be used for invaginating a movement restriction device by the fundus, a position between the diaphragm and the cardiac sphincter to hinder the cardia from sliding through the diaphragm opening into the patient's thorax.

    摘要: An inflatable, adjustable gastric band includes a flexible, hollow, resilient band; and a flexible inflation tube connected to the band and complementary closing means that are capable of mutually engaging so as to lock a ring in a closed position. The ring formed by bringing the distal end and the proximal end of the band together into a slipknot. The hollow band has, in an inoperative position, a preformed curved portion which is extended, by a substantially rectilinear portion, from the proximal end area thereof to the free distal end of the band. The substantially rectilinear portion being suitable for facilitating the insertion of the proximal end of the tube through the loop(s) of the band, and in that the hollow band has, on the outer wall thereof, two loops, said loops being arranged on the substantially rectilinear portion of the hollow band.
