Abstract
A surgical method of treating reflux disease by implanting a movement restriction device. The method comprises the steps of: dissecting in an area of an abdomen comprising a fundus of a stomach, inserting the movement restriction device into the abdomen of the patient, placing the movement restriction device in contact with the fundus of the stomach using an instrument holding the movement restriction device, invaginating the movement restriction device in the fundus of the stomach by: placing at least one suture in a wall of the stomach above the instrument holding the movement restriction device, and placing at least one suture in the wall of the stomach below the instrument holding the movement restriction device.
