Abstract:
Endoscopic gastric plication techniques are effective for weight loss. These procedures offer the potential for higher efficacy than conservative modalities, such as medications and lifestyle modifications, and lower invasiveness than bariatric surgery. Gastric plication techniques include endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, primary obesity surgery endolumenal, transoral gastroplasty, and plication with the Articulating Endoscopic Circular (ACE) stapler. Currently, primary obesity surgery endolumenal is under review by the US Food and Drug Administration, and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is gaining acceptance. Gastric plication procedures, as with any endoscopic bariatric therapy, should be applied in the setting of a multidisciplinary weight management program with long-term follow-up.
