How Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is performed
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) involves inserting a therapeutic endoscope through the mouth, commonly using an endoscopic suturing system to create multiple folds in the stomach wall, reducing the stomach cavity volume and altering gastric emptying. It is usually performed under anesthesia with real-time monitoring of vital signs, gradually completing suture testing and hemostasis. Postoperatively, early attention is paid to nausea, dehydration, and abdominal pain, with a gradual transition to diet and nutritional support, aiming for sustained improvement in weight and metabolic management. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
