Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) for treatment of morbid obesity in a series of 244 patients

Abstract

Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is a new metabolic/bariatric surgical procedure that requires no resection, bypass, or implantable device. We report LGCP outcomes in 244 morbidly obese patients.Over the short term, LGCP results in effective weight loss and significant T2DM reduction with a very low rate of complications.
