Through several small incisions with a camera, electrodes are attached to the muscle wall of the lower part of the stomach, or worn electrodes are replaced. The pulse generator that drives them sits under the skin and is placed in a separate procedure. The mild electrical pulses are used for people with long-standing nausea and vomiting caused by a stomach that empties too slowly.
