Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication
September 2nd, 2011Laparoscopic greater curvature plication is a relatively new restrictive weight loss surgery gaining popularity among patients suffering from morbid obesity. The operation is comparable to existing bariatric surgeries in terms of weight loss results at a lower cost and with lesser post operative complications.
Gastric plication reduces stomach volume and thus assists in weight loss by decreasing the food intake. Patients feel less hungry and feel full quickly after ingestion of small quantities of food. There is also a low risk of early and late complications as plication surgery does not involve gastric resection or the placement of a synthetic device in the body.
