Official title
Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication for Weight Loss and Resolution of Diabetes and Other Comorbidities.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Various gastric restrictive procedures have evolved over the years but abandoned due to poor long term weight loss, food intolerance or severe gastroesophageal reflux. Laparoscopic gastric plication or laparoscopic greater curvature placation ( LGCP) has recently been done as an alternative to the other restrictive procedures. But the short and long term safety and efficacy outcomes of LGCP is not well documented in current literature. American society of metabolic and bariatric surgery ( ASMBS) guidelines state that LGCP procedures should be considered investigational at this time and should be performed under a study protocol with third party oversight (e.g. IRB) to ensure continuous evaluation of patient safety and to review adverse events and outcomes. The objective of this study will be to demonstrate feasibility , short term and long term safety and efficacy of LGCP . This will be done by achieving gastric restriction by infolding of stomach and thereby achieving good weight loss .
