Laparoscopic Gastric Plication vs Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy - A Single Center, Prospective and Case-Control Study

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As compared to LSG, LGP has similar outcomes in terms of the length of hospitalization, major complications and improvement of the main comorbidities. LSG procedure was found to be superior in terms of medium- to long-term weight reduction. LGP is a technique that may provide better results in obese patients with a lower BMI (less than 40 kg/m2).
