Overview

Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is a surgical procedure to implant an electronic device into the abdomen, with wires (electrodes) that are attached to the stomach wall. It may not improve stomach emptying but may improve nausea and vomiting in most cases. ^[1] ^[2]
Other surgical procedures depend on the underlying cause of nausea and vomiting.
