Gastric Plication Surgery ( GPS ) is a “gastric sleeve” that resembles Sleeve Gastrectomy but does not involve stomach resection ( permanent removal of stomach tissue with a stapling device ) to reduce stomach capacity. Rather, the stomach capacity is reduced by folding the stomach in on itself and then stitching it together.
Benefits of Gastric Plication Surgery:
- Involves no stapling, cutting, or removal of tissue
- Weight loss impression comparable to existing bariatric procedures
- Performed laparoscopically
- Does not produce malabsorption ( relating gastric bypass surgery )
- Does not have need a medical implant ( corresponding gastric banding )
- Does not involve cutting away and removing a portion of the stomach ( congeneric sleeve gastrectomy )
- Procedure is delicate reversed
- Offers deficient risk and rapid recovery
- Currently the lowest cost weight loss procedure available
Frontage of clinical blow, Gastric Plication Surgery, further known as Gastric Imbrication, Total Vertical Sleeve Plication, and Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication, is being performed by only a few doctors in the United States at this time, including: Dr. Brad Watkins at Cincinnati Weight Loss Center, Daniel Cottam, MD at Surgical Weight Loss Centre of Utah, and Sunil Sharma, MD at the University of Florida.
While short - term results to date have been promising for gastric plication surgery, ongoing clinical trials and the accumulation of data over time will give us a clearer picture of what to expect in the long - term. With further development and continued positive results, gastric plication surgery may be more widely available in the next few years.
