摘要：
A device, system and method for diagnosing and treating gastric disorders is provided. A submucosal gastric implant device is placed within the submucosal layer of a patients stomach wall. The device in one embodiment provides electrical stimulation of the stomach wall and may use multiple electrode pairs for sequential stimulation. The device may also have other functional aspects such as a sensor for sensing various parameters of the stomach or stomach environment, or a therapeutic delivery device. The implant may be programmed to respond to sensed information or signals. The device may be modular with a portion of the device accessible outside the stomach wall for removal and replacement. An endoscopic delivery system prepares and delivers the functional device through the esophagus and into the stomach where it is placed through an opening in the mucosa into the submucosal layer of the stomach wall. The endoscopic instruments may be used to prepare a cavity in the submucosal layer of the stomach wall and deliver the device to the prepared cavity and if appropriate close the opening in the mucosa.
