Physicians at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital are offering a minimally-invasive approach to treat Barrett’s esophagus by using radiofrequency ablation to remove the diseased tissue without damaging the normal underlying structures of the throat.
The procedure, HALO ablation therapy, is performed by gastroenterologists in conjunction with an upper endoscopy in an outpatient setting without incisions.
Today’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch features John Binsbacher, a St. Charles man who had HALO instead of an open surgery. You can read his story here.
