It was a great honour to have been invited to visit renowned world expert Professor Luca Dughera at the University of Turin last week and observe him perform endoscopic radiofrequency therapy (Stretta). This is a new option for patients with reflux who do not wish to/are unsuitable for medical or surgical therapy. His hospitality and support was outstanding, and we would hope to be able to offer the Stretta procedure in Exeter very soon. Thanks to CJ Medical for their support.
