Introduction. Laparoscopic greater curvature plication is an operation that is gaining ground in the treatment of morbid obesity, as it appears to replicate the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with fewer complications. Aim. Review of current literature, especially results on weight loss and complications. Method. 11 (eleven) published articles on laparoscopic gastric plication, of wh...

BACKGROUND Eventration of diaphragm associated with gastric volvulus is an uncommon condition. CASE PRESENTATION We are reporting a case of a 60-year-old male having left sided total diaphragmatic eventration associated with chronic intermittent organo-axial gastric volvulus. The patient presented with progressive dyspnea and intermittent gastrointestinal symptoms. Plication of left hemidiaph...

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. ...

Obesity can be defined as a chronic disease with serious impact on an individual’s quality of life; moreover, it is leading risk factor for global death. Bariatric surgery has already proven its efficacy in providing the patient healthier life. Nonetheless, failure initiated treatment occur medical practice. We and should offer our patients correct, patient-tailored revisional therapy conducted...

Background : Since 2006 laparoscopic gastric plication technique has been evaluated to eliminate AGB and VSG associated complications, by restriction without gastric stapling resection and without an implant used. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of LSG and LGCP in short term weight loss. Material and Methods: The study included 12 patients who underwent LSG and 12 patients...

We report eventration of right hemi-diaphragm resulting in gastric volvulus of the right sided stomach in an infant. The diagnosis of this rare association was made with contrast CT scan. Patient was initially managed with reduction of stomach, plication of right hemi diaphragm, anterior gastropexy and Ladds procedure, but required re-laparotomy after two months for recurrent volvulus.

Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is relatively a new procedure. We report a novel complication of obstructive jaundice in a 24-year-old patient post LGCP. This was secondary to gastric mucosa prolapse with obstruction of the ampulla of Vater. A literature review revealed no previous reports of similar complication.

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is a novel restrictive technique that reduces gastric volume by plication of the greater curvature. The advantage of LGCP is its reversibility in comparison to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Nowadays, the long-term LGCP efficacy, safety and metabolic effect are being investigated. AIM To assess body composition, clinical complicat...
