background: laparoscopic gastric plication (lgp) is a technique in the restrictive category of bariatric procedures that reduces the gastric volume. nausea and vomiting are the most common complications after this procedure. the goal of this research is to determine the preventive effective dose of promethazine on postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparascopic gastric placation methods: a...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic insertion of a gastric band for weight reduction is increasingly performed in obese and morbidly obese patients. Complication rates after gastric band insertion are reduced by using certain techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective study of all patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) insertion at our unit. This procedure is perf...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Gastric Plication is a new technique derived from sleeve gastrectomy. Plication of the greater curvature produces a restrictive mechanism that causes weight loss. The results of the first cases where this technique has been applied in this hospital are presented. METHODS A review was made of patients operated on in our hospital between November 2009 and December 2010...

Introduction: Laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) is a relatively new restrictive bariatric procedure that emerged to avoid the problems and to reduce the cost of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this study we present the initial short-term outcome of LGP and its effect on gastric emptying and compare it with the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). <stro...

background: obesity has emerged as one of the most serious public health concerns in the 21st century. the consequences of this chronic disorder are serious. bariatric surgery has been shown to eliminate comorbid conditions associated with obesity. currently it is considered to be the only successful, long-term therapy for morbidly obese subjects.rnobjectives: the aim of this study was to evalu...

Background : Since 2006 laparoscopic gastric plication technique has been evaluated to eliminate AGB and VSG associated complications, by restriction without gastric stapling resection and without an implant used. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of LSG and LGCP in short term weight loss. Material and Methods: The study included 12 patients who underwent LSG and 12 patients...

Introduction. Laparoscopic greater curvature plication is an operation that is gaining ground in the treatment of morbid obesity, as it appears to replicate the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with fewer complications. Aim. Review of current literature, especially results on weight loss and complications. Method. 11 (eleven) published articles on laparoscopic gastric plication, of wh...
