  • METHODS FOR PARTIAL DIVERSION OF THE INTESTINAL TRACT
    Publication number: 20210244415
    Abstract: Devices and methods are used to modify a metabolic pathway of a digestive system by creating a pathway within the intestinal tract through an anastomosis between a proximal location within the intestinal tract and a distal location within the intestinal tract. In some examples, the small intestine has a first initial length and the created pathway defines a second length of the intestinal tract that is approximately ten to seventy percent of the first initial length of the small intestine.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 28, 2021
    Publication date: August 12, 2021
    Inventors: Elliott J. Fegelman, Randy J. Seeley, Gregory J. Bakos, Jason L. Harris

  • Enteroendocrine Manipulation for Metabolic Effect
    Publication number: 20110295151
    Abstract: L-cells may be introduced in the gastrointestinal tract. L-cells are used in the digestive process to produce a more efficient and lasting means of regulating feelings of satiation in a patient. Desired metabolic effects may be achieved by manipulating L-cells via delivery sites, frequency of delivery, or type of biological substance delivered.

  • Systems and Methods For Regulating Metabolic Hormone Producing Tissue
    Publication number: 20110295337
    Abstract: A method for regulating hormone production comprises placing at least one electrode in a gastrointestinal tract of a patient and recording an electrical signal during a preselected event produced by the gastrointestinal tract. The method further involves the steps of storing the electrical signal, and playing back the electrical signal by activating the electrode during the absence of the preselected event.
