Genesis Heartburn Center

Chronic heartburn is more than an annoyance. It can interfere with your daily activities, keep you from enjoying life and eventually cause other health problems. If you suffer from heartburn more than once a week, contact your doctor or the Heartburn Center to find out if a ManoScan esophageal manometry test or Bravo Reflux test is appropriate for you.

Call: 740-453-0661

About the ManoScan esophageal manometry test

  • Determines how well the esophagus (food pipe) functions by measuring the pressure as it squeezes
  • Typically takes less than 30 minutes
  • Your nose or throat could be numbed with a spray or gel
  • A small catheter is inserted through your nose into your stomach
  • You can breathe, swallow and talk during the test
  • After the test, you can drive home and resume daily activities
  • Your doctor will go over the results at a follow-up visit

 

About the Bravo Reflux test

  • Measures your gastroesophageal reflux symptoms
  • You will receive conscious sedation before a miniature capsule is temporarily attached to your esophagus
  • The capsule continually measures the pH in your esophagus and transmits results to the recorder you wear on a belt
  • After you leave the doctor’s office, you can continue your normal activities if you keep the recorder within three feet of your body
  • During the test, typically 48 to 96 hours, you should eat and participate in normal activities. You will also need to write down when you eat, lie down and have reflux symptoms (coughing, heartburn or regurgitation)
  • When the test is completed, you will return the recorder and diary and schedule a follow-up visit to review the results

 

A referral is not required. For more information, call 740-453-0661.

24 Hours After Surgery

You’ll likely feel drowsy for several hours after your surgery, so it’s advised to have an adult home with you for the first 24 hours to help you during your recovery.

Ask Questions & Voice Concerns

If you or your family have any questions about your surgery and at-home care and treatment, do one or more of the following:

  • For any emergency, immediately call 9-1-1.
  • Contact your doctor at the office number listed on the discharge instructions.
  • Call the Genesis NurseLine: 800-989-4949.

Post-Surgery Billing

After your surgery, you’ll receive a billing statement from Genesis notifying you that we’ve submitted your bill to your insurance company for the facility fee. You’ll receive a separate bill from your physician. If you received other services, such as anesthesia, X-ray or lab tests, you’ll be billed separately.

Minimally Invasive

Robotic-assisted surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery. It is a proven technique for reducing healing times and complications. That is why Genesis has been performing robotic-assisted surgeries for over a decade and has completed thousands of them. Our surgeons are experienced and dedicated to getting you back to your life as safe and fast as possible. 

Commonly Asked Questions and Answers

    Q: Does the robot perform the surgery by itself?

    A: No. The robot acts as an extension of the surgeon’s hands, letting them control every precise movement.

    Q: Why is robotic-assisted surgery better?

    A: The robotic arms enable the surgeon to move instruments in ways that human hands can’t and reach into smaller places. The system also provides a 3D viewing system that allows the surgeon to see more.

    Q: What advantages does robotic-assisted surgery provide?

    A: Smaller incisions, pinpoint precision, faster recoveries, lower infection rates, less blood loss and scarring and shorter hospital stays.

    Q: What surgeries are performed with robotic-assisted equipment?

    A: Genesis has demonstrated success performing several types of robotic-assisted surgeries. The most common include cholecystectomy, colon resections, inguinal hernia repairs, hysterectomy and ventral/incisional hernias. If you need surgery, talk to your doctor to learn if robotic-assisted surgery is an option for you.
