Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure performed using an endoscope, a thin, flexible instrument with a camera. During the procedure, sutures are placed along the stomach wall, creating a sleeve-like shape and reducing its capacity by approximately 70%. This promotes satiety with smaller food portions, leading to sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic health.
Advantages of ESG:
Minimally Invasive: No external incisions or scars, resulting in faster recovery times and less discomfort.
Effective Weight Loss: Studies show an average weight loss of 12-20% of body weight within one year.
Improved Health Outcomes: May contribute to managing conditions like type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.
Potential Reversibility: In some cases, the procedure may be reversible.
