Living with chronic nausea and vomiting from gastroparesis (a chronic disorder where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents into the small intestine) can affect everything from meals to work, activities, travel, and daily comfort. For some patients, symptoms continue even after trying diet changes or medications. But there are other options.

Enterra® Therapy is an implantable device designed for the treatment of chronic, medication-resistant nausea and vomiting associated with gastroparesis caused by diabetes or an unknown origin in patients aged 18 to 70 years. It uses gentle electrical stimulation and can be adjusted to help find the right level of therapy for each patient. Offered at Paragon Surgical Specialists by board-certified general surgeon Brian Schmidt, MD, FACS, this small neurostimulator is surgically implanted in the lower abdomen with the goal of symptom relief. Contact us or talk to your gastroenterologist to see if Enterra® may be right for you. Want to learn more?

It may seem like a small bulge or occasional discomfort, but a hernia is not something to ignore. During Hernia Awareness Month, Paragon Surgical Specialists is helping raise awareness about this common condition that affects millions of Americans each year. Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weakened area of muscle, often causing a visible bulge, pressure, or pain that may worsen when lifting, coughing, or bending. Left untreated, hernias can grow larger and may lead to more serious complications.

The good news is that many hernias can be repaired using minimally invasive surgical techniques, often resulting in less pain, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times. If you've noticed symptoms or have concerns about a possible hernia, don't wait to get evaluated. Early diagnosis and treatment can help you return to the activities you enjoy with fewer interruptions to your life.
