Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that uses an endoscopic suturing (stitching) device to reduce the stomach's size and volume by about 70%. ... For the right candidate, ESG may be a less invasive alternative to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Both procedures reduce the stomach size, but [laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy] does so by removing part of the stomach, while ESG uses stitches to bring folds of the stomach together like an accordion (similar to sewing a dart to tailor clothing). 5, record 1, English, - endoscopic%20sleeve%20gastroplasty

Restrictive gastric operations, such as vertical banded gastroplasty (VGB), serve only to restrict and decrease food intake and do not interfere with the normal digestive process. In this procedure the upper stomach near the esophagus is stapled vertically to create a small pouch along the inner curve of the stomach. The outlet from the pouch to the rest of the stomach is restricted by a band made of special material. The band delays the emptying of food from the pouch, causing a feeling of fullness. 3, record 2, English, - vertical%20banded%20gastroplasty

La gastroplastie verticale calibrée est une intervention chirurgicale restrictive de l'obésité qui permet de réduire la quantité d’aliments ingérée par le patient sans modifier le processus de digestion. Cette intervention consiste à pratiquer une petite incision circulaire sur la paroi de l'estomac, à quelques centimètres sous l'œsophage. L'estomac est ensuite agrafé de façon à délimiter une petite poche verticale entre l'orifice pratiqué et l'œsophage. [...] Un anneau est ensuite passé entre l'orifice pratiqué et la sortie de la poche. Cet anneau va empêcher que l'orifice pratiqué ne se relâche. Il va également contrôler le diamètre de l'orifice d’entrée vers l'estomac. Les aliments vont donc mettre plus de temps à passer dans l'estomac et donner au patient une sensation de satiété. 3, record 2, French, - gastroplastie%20verticale%20calibr%C3%A9e
