There are three options for this condition.
1. Semi-Surgical. It involves using a balloon which is inserted into the stomach to widen the sphincter which is causing the problem.
2. Non-Surgical : Botox injections. These injections are given for 6 to 12 months. Most of the elderly and frail patients are treated by these, because Surgery is not usually recommended for them.
3. Surgical : It includes cutting the portion of the spinchter causing the problem. It is usually not done on elderly.
The first two options can be used for your Mother. But the problem is that they might need to be performed after several months.
