A NOVEL APPROACH TO ENDOLUMINAL GASTROPLASTY USING A MODIFIED GASTROSTOMY TUBE AND LAPAROSCOPIC STAPLER

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a novel approach to endoluminal gastroplasty using a modified gastrostomy tube and laparoscopic stapler is demonstrated. The gastric antrum is targeted as a potential therapeutic site for weight loss. The procedure involves the insertion of an intragastric trocar and the use of a modified gastrostomy tube to reduce the gastric antrum. A non-cutting stapler is passed through the tube to create full thickness bites along the anterior and posterior walls of the antrum, resulting in tubularization. The procedure is safe and effective in two porcine models, with no adverse events observed. Further studies are required to refine the technique and explore its use in treating obesity. No credits were provided.
