Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses several procedures that have attempted to replicate the vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG). The first procedure mentioned is the endoluminal vertical gastroplasty performed by Roberto Fogel, which involved using a long running suture to partition the stomach. However, the results of this procedure were not easily replicated and there were issues with suture durability. Another procedure discussed is the TOGA procedure by Satiety, which used a stapler to divide the stomach and had mixed results in terms of weight loss. Lastly, the speaker mentions the EndoZip device used in a study by Gotran Lopez-Nava, which showed encouraging early results in terms of weight loss. However, the durability of these procedures remains a concern. The speaker also mentions the SOS study, which showed good results for the original VBG up to 20 years. No credits were provided in the video.
