Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure designed for individuals struggling with obesity. It involves inserting a flexible tube called an endoscope through the mouth and into the stomach. Surgeons then use sutures to create a smaller, sleeve-like stomach, which limits food intake and promotes a feeling of fullness. Unlike traditional bariatric surgeries, ESG does not require any cuts or incisions, leading to a shorter recovery time. This procedure can help people achieve significant weight loss and improve related health conditions, all while being less invasive than other surgical options.
