Abstract
Gastroparesis is a complex disease that can be severely debilitating. Patient outcomes are optimized when a multi-disciplinary treatment plan is employed, utilizing a combination of dietary, behavioral, and medical management strategies and occasionally surgical therapy. One of these surgical options is gastric electrical stimulation which, when employed with proper workup and strict protocols, has been shown to provide significant relief.
