Gastric Plication, also known as gastric sleeve plication, is a reversible weight loss surgery that shares similarities with gastric sleeve surgery. While it uses the same surgical technique as the gastric sleeve, it differs in several key aspects, offering patients a unique solution for weight loss.
Our team can perform Gastric Sleeve Plication laparoscopically.
How Gastric Plication Works
Using a restrictive technique, gastric sleeve plication reduces stomach capacity by folding the stomach into itself with non-dissolvable sutures. Unlike gastric sleeve surgery, gastric plication is a reversible procedure, which can be an advantage for certain patients.
Although studies suggest that the expected weight loss is comparable to gastric sleeve surgery, gastric plication is still a relatively new procedure. As a result, some patients may opt for gastric plication, understanding that the long-term outcomes are still somewhat uncertain.
