摘要：
When a patient is fitted with an external gastrostomy connection to the stomach,ingested food can be removed through the gastrostomy connection using a pump-basedor siphon-based system to achieve weight loss. The process of removing ingestedfood can be improved by alternating the infusion of liquid into the stomach withthe removal of material from the stomach. Optionally, stomach acid may be capturedand returned to the stomach. Optionally, nutritional supplements or medicinesmay be added to the infused liquid. Optionally, a flush mount connectorized systemwith a built in valve may be used to simplify the interface with the gastrostomyhardware that remains installed in the patient. Optionally, the system may beconfigured to disable itself from further use after a triggering event (e.g.,the passage of time or a predetermined number of uses) has occurred.
