Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Partial gastric plication (PGP) is a novel, minimally invasive bariatric procedure in which the lateral (greater curvature) portion of the stomach is folded inward (plication) laparoscopically, thereby reducing gastric volume to induce weight loss and improve obesity-related comorbidities. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PGP.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Safety: Adverse events related to this treatment
-Adverse events/reactions will be assessed using the JCOG Postoperative Complications Criteria (Clavien-Dindo Classification), ver. 2.0.

Efficacy: Weight loss (percentage of total body weight loss, %TWL)

Key secondary outcomes

1, Body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and body composition
2, Glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure profiles
3, Clinical effects on obesity-related comorbidities
4, Changes in medication (dosage, type, and cost)
5, Quality of life assessment (SF-36, GIQOL)
