Endoscopic gastric plication (endo-sleeve) | Prices in Turkey

What is Endo-Sleeve endoscopic gastric plication?

Endoscopic gastric plication, or Endo-Sleeve, is a weight loss procedure performed without surgery. It reduces stomach volume much like sleeve gastrectomy does, but through an endoscopic approach.

This technique also works as a revision procedure for patients who've had previous bariatric surgery. It's particularly useful when patients experience gradual stomach expansion after initial weight loss procedures, compromising their earlier results.

Endoscopic gastric banding can help in cases of inadequate weight loss following gastric banding, or stomach dilatation after sleeve gastrectomy or vertical gastroplasty.

How the Endo-Sleeve procedure works

Under general anesthesia, the surgeon passes a gastroscope through your mouth and places sutures along the stomach's greater curvature, creating a narrower tube-shaped stomach. This volume reduction helps you feel full faster and stay satisfied longer, leading to sustained weight loss.

Results typically last a long time, though success depends on consistent medical follow-up and lifestyle changes like better eating habits and physical activity.

Who is Endo-Sleeve suitable for?

Endo-Sleeve is a reversible, repeatable option for adults 18 and older who have:

• A BMI of 30 or higher along with related health conditions
• Failed repeatedly with diet and exercise
• Contraindications against traditional bariatric surgery

This approach can help you reach a healthier weight and significantly improve your quality of life.

Endoscopic gastric banding, a minimally invasive choice

Endoscopic gastric banding techniques offer a less invasive path than traditional bariatric surgery, with real advantages:

• Greater safety: No surgical incisions means significantly lower risk of complications like fistulas or peritonitis
• Faster healing: Patients recover quicker with minimal pain since there are no abdominal cuts
• No visible scars: Preserves abdominal appearance, which matters to many patients, especially women
• Dedicated medical oversight: Close monitoring throughout ensures sustained, reliable results
• Permanent stomach change: The anatomical modification stays in place without disrupting normal digestion

Through multidisciplinary care and personalized aftercare, endoscopic gastric banding delivers a safe, effective, and cosmetically sound obesity treatment.

Potential complications after Endo-Sleeve

While minimally invasive, endoscopic gastric banding occasionally causes minor side effects such as food intolerance (nausea, vomiting) or procedure-related issues like ulcers, bleeding, or gastric perforation.

Turkish clinics perform this procedure under strict safety protocols. Any adverse effects, which are usually mild and short-lived, receive careful medical attention. Our personalized follow-up program ensures every patient has optimal support throughout treatment.
