Surgery
- Gastric stimulation 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 nd vomiting in most cases. [1]
- Other surgical procedures depend on the underlying cause of nausea and vomiting.
