Abstract

To present the new method of gastric plication in treatment of patients with overweight and obesity. There were 132 different bariatric interventions in patients with overweight and obesity. It is described an original technique of laparoscopic gastric placation characterized by reduced postoperative morbidity, simplicity, low traumatism, and economic efficiency. The method was applied in 12 patients with morbid obesity. The majority of patients (83.3%) achieved a persistent decrease in body weight. The prospects of the method are seen in determining surgical indications and selection of patients for the operation. Further assessment of laparoscopic gastric plication will make it possible to determine its place among restrictive methods for weight loss.
