COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital has announced they have pioneered a new technology that will help to enhance quality of life and decrease symptoms for patients with severe stomach issues.
Doctor John Carr recently performed a neurostimulator implantation procedure using the Enterra II Neurostimulator device.
The device is programmed to generate small electrical pulses to stimulate the stomach muscles in a normal behavior.
ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital is the first hospital in the ProMedica system to use this device and the second hospital in Michigan to provide this service to patients.
Doctor Carr says, “My patient was in great pain and had experienced significant weight loss. The quality of life this individual was experiencing was truly unimaginable. Following this procedure, he is now able to enjoy day-to-day life without pain or complications. Ultimately, our goal is to make sure every patient can live their life to the fullest. It is very rewarding to see patients who are sick or in need progress and be able to enjoy their lives.”
