Phil Schauer, MD Bariatric and Metabolic Institute Laparoscopic Gastric Plication
Education and Research Support, Consulting • NIH/NIDDK • Ethicon Endosurgery • Stryker Corporation • Invacare Corporation • Covidien • Gore Corporation • Bard/Davol Corporation • Baxter Corporation • Cardinal Health • Surgical Excellence • Barosense • ReMedyMD • SurgiQuest • Quadrant www.ccf.org
Laparoscopic Gastric Plication • No stomach stapling or removal • low leak risk, low bleeding risk • No bypass • minimal nutritional risk • no bowel re-routing • No foreign body (i.e. band) • no prolapse or erosion risk • Potentially reversible or modifiable to another procedure if needed • Minimally invasive; short stay • Lower cost
LGCP Normal Endoscopic Appearance • Invagination of the greater curvature results in decreased intraluminal gastric volume • Normal, intact plication results in lobular contour abnormalities and intraluminal filling defects on imaging
Variations in TechniqueLaparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication • Suture Type • Suture Pattern • Suture Spacing • Depth of Fold • Calibration • Use of Endoscopy
OUTCOME OF LAPAROSCOPIC TOTAL VERTICAL GASTRIC PLICATION IN MORBID OBESITYTalebpour M, Amoli B. J Laparo Adv Surg Tech 2007; 17:793-798 N=150, Mean BMI 47 61% 60% 57% 57% 72p 51p 55% 94p 23p 10p
N = 100 • Age 15-64 y • BMI 31.64 - 45.09 kg/m2 Mean=37.47Kg/m2 • Results at 1 year: • Mean weight loss 26.4 +/- 8.7 kg (13-51 kg) • Mean %EWL 69.6 +/- 7.44 (6.2 – 95.6) • No reported complication or mortality
Laparoscopic Greater Curve PlicationRamos et al. Obes Surg 2010 Jul;20(7):913-8 • 42 patients • Mean BMI 41 kg/m2 • Mean operative time 50 minutes • Mean length of stay 36 hours • No major complications • Mean 62% EWL at 18 months
Laparoscopic Gastric Plication for the Treatment of Severe ObesityMETHODS • IRB approval obtained for this investigational procedure • 15 patients (three male) • Mean preop BMI 43.5 (36.9 – 49.0) • 9 patients underwent anterior surface plication • 6 patients underwent greater curvature plication (gcp) Brethauer SA et al. SOARD 2011 7:15-22
Anterior Plication 6 months 12 months
6 months Greater Curvature Plication 12 months
Complications • No bleeding or infectious complications • First GCP patient required reoperation and plication reduction on POD#2 due to gastric obstruction • Mild to moderate nausea in all patients (2 severe). • Resolved within two weeks. • One GCP patient required laparoscopic cholecystectomy 11 months after procedure Brethauer SA et al. SOARD 2011 7:15-22
Laparoscopic Gastric Greater Curvature Plication: Results and Complications in a Series of 135 PatientsSkrekas et al. Obes Surg. 2011 Nov;21(11):1657-63. • April 2008 – December 2009 • One or two-layer plication over 36 Fr Bougie • Mean OR time 40-50 minutes • Mean LOS 1.9 days (1-6) • Mean F/U 22 mos (8-31)
Multicenter Trial Underway • 3 centers • 45 patients • 3 year follow-up • All sutured Greater Curve Plication • Standardized technique • Enrollment complete
Laparoscopic Gastric PlicationSummary • Anterior Plication safe, but not effective • Greater Curve Plication • Technically feasible, reproducible • Good short-term weight loss • Low major complication rate • Remains investigational (ASMBS Position Statement)
