gastric plication

Gastric plication is a novel weight-loss treatment that folds the stomach within itself, reducing its volume by around 70%. Unlike standard bariatric procedures, gastric plication does not include cutting or removing any portion of the stomach or rerouting the intestines. This minimally invasive technique assists patients in losing considerable weight by restricting the amount of food they may eat and producing a sense of fullness sooner.
