Gastric Plication in Turkey, Prices of Istanbul Clinics

Stomach Reduction without cutting

70 percent of the stomach size can be reduced by gastric plication without ablation, as it is the case in gastric sleeve. The surgery that lasts between 1 and 2 hours is performed after making tiny cuts of 0.5 cm in the patient’s abdomen  that allow the doctor to attain the stomach and employ a small camera or a laparoscope. In order to shorten the stomach extent, the surgeon bends it through dissolvable stitches.

The restriction of the stomach is the common aspect of the gastric plication procedure and gastric sleeve. This procedure does not involve the ablation of a part of the stomach.

After the intervention, one or two days of hospitalization are required. You can undergo another bariatric surgery with Turquie Santé, such as:

• gastric band surgery;
• Gastric Bypass;
• gastric balloon;
• sleeve gastrectomy.
