Gastric Plication: a non-surgical procedure using transoral gastrointestinal endoscopy.
At Sydney Medical Center, we aim for patient safety and comfort first. Below is a detailed description of the stages of the process in our center:
First: Evaluation and preparedness:
A comprehensive medical evaluation of the patient is performed to ensure that he or she is suitable for this procedure.
Our patient must be in good health and suffer from weight loss, as he has moderate weight gain and does not suffer from skin problems or vitamin deficiency.
Second: Preparing for the procedure:
The patient is asked to follow a special diet before surgery to prepare the stomach for cramping.
Refrain from eating food and liquids in the few hours before the procedure.
Third: Procedure:
The procedure is performed through an oral gastrointestinal endoscope, which folds the stomach wall.
The stomach is reduced by 50-60% of its normal size, which leads to a faster feeling of fullness and eating smaller amounts of food.
Fourth: After the procedure:
Our patient is directed to a recovery period and careful monitoring.
The patient must follow a special diet after surgery to avoid digestive problems and ensure effective results.
