Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
It is a procedure similar to
gastric sleeve surgery but is
nonsurgical. The entire
procedure is done through the
mouth via an endoscopic suturing
system which doesn’t require any
incision. Using this technique,
size
and volume of the
stomach is reduced to much less
than its original
capacity
because of which limited intake
of food is there.
Benefits of ESG :-
• This procedure is for 50
minutes.
• After 4-5 hours
of procedure, a patient starts
walking and patient can be
discharged within a day.
•
After getting discharged from
the hospital, a patient can
perform normal activities from
the next
day
itself.
• Since it is a non
surgical endoscopic procedure,
it leads to less pain and
discomfort.
• ESG leads to
signicant weight loss.
•
It potentially lowers the risk
of serious weight-related health
problems, including: GERD, Heart
disease, Hypertension,
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Type 2
Diabetes.
