The MUSE procedure from medical device company Medigus is an incisionless procedure.

“I was able to complete a single procedure in about one hour, since the device is fully integrated with all capabilities and the treatment can be administered by a single physician. Because it requires no incisions, the patients reported greater comfort during treatment, their hospital stays were reduced by 50 percent through treatment with MUSE over more invasive fundoplication procedures, and they were able to return to most of their daily activities after about a week,” said Professor Testoni.
