Short-term outcome of laparoscopic greater curvature plication – a new gastric restrictive technique for morbidly obese patients

Outcomes of Laparoscopic Gastric Greater Curvature Plication in Morbidly Obese Patients

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic gastric greater curvature plication (LGGCP) is a restrictive bariatric procedure without gastrectomy. However, limited literature on effectiveness of gastric plication exists. OBJECTIVES We assessed LGGCP's efficacy, effects on associated comorbidities, safety and the rate of complications, and patient satisfaction with LGGCP's outcomes among morbidly obese patients. ...

Laparoscopic greater curvature plication - a new and safe bariatric procedure.

Morbid obesity is affecting an increasing number of people worldwide and when clinical treatment does not achieve the expected results, bariatric surgery becomes the last resource. Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is a new bariatric restrictive procedure that avoids the complications linked with the permanent implant of an adjustable gastric ring (oesophageal laceration, gastric ...

Short-Term Analysis of Food Tolerance and Quality of Life after Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare short-term outcomes [food tolerance scores (FTS) and quality of life] after three types of restrictive bariatric surgery: laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP), and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2012 to December 2013, all patients that underwent pr...

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in morbidly obese patients. Technique and short term results.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) as a definitive procedure for morbidly obese patients. DESIGN This constitutes a prospective study carried out in a tertiary care private hospital and included 15 morbidly obese patients who underwent LSG. The operation was performed through two 12 mm and two 5 mm ports, using the Endo-GIA stapler to create a lesser c...
