Gastric Plication


It involves a novel technique to achieve weight loss, restricting the stomach’s capacity by placing sutures that inner folds the thickest part along the stomach without removing part of it like in the gastric sleeve.

Because there is no cutting, stapling or removal of the stomach and/or intestine, many patients prefer this procedure, also because there are no staples or prosthetic material involved.

Advantages of Gastric Plication:

• It does not require cutting either the stomach or intestine
• It does not require implants, staples or fills
• It is potentially reversible
• Similar weight loss as a Gastric Sleeve in preliminary trials
