Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
A non-surgical procedure that reduces stomach size using internal stitches — a less invasive option for meaningful weight loss.
Patient-Friendly Explanation
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a non-surgical weight loss procedure where a doctor uses a thin tube with a camera to stitch the stomach smaller from the inside. There are no cuts or scars, and recovery is faster than traditional surgery. It helps you feel full with less food.
Clinical Definition
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive, incisionless bariatric procedure performed via transoral endoscopy. Full-thickness sutures are placed along the greater curvature of the stomach to reduce gastric volume by approximately 70-80%, mimicking the restrictive effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy without the surgical risks.
