About this study
Official title: Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication for Weight Loss and Resolution of Diabetes and Other Comorbidities.
Various gastric restrictive procedures have evolved over the years but abandoned due to poor long term weight loss, food intolerance or severe gastroesophageal reflux. Laparoscopic gastric plication or laparoscopic greater curvature placation ( LGCP) has recently been done as an alternative to the other restrictive procedures. But the short and long term safety and efficacy outcomes of LGCP is not well documented in current literature. American society of metabolic and bariatric surgery ( ASMBS) guidelines state that LGCP procedures should be considered investigational at this time and should be performed under a study protocol with third party oversight (e.g. IRB) to ensure continuous evaluation of patient safety and to review adverse events and outcomes.
The objective of this study will be to demonstrate feasibility , short term and long term safety and efficacy of LGCP . This will be done by achieving gastric restriction by infolding of stomach and thereby achieving good weight loss .
Read the detailed description
Since the acceptance of surgical procedures to achieve a sustainable weight loss, many different procedures has been tried with variable success. Among them , various gastric restrictive procedures have evolved over the years but abandoned due to poor long term weight loss, food intolerance or severe gastroesophageal reflux. Currently, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band ( LAGB) and sleeve gastrectomy are being used with variable acceptance and success. Laparoscopic gastric plication or laparoscopic greater curvature plication ( LGCP) has recently been done as an alternative to the other restrictive procedures. But the short and long term safety and efficacy outcomes of LGCP is not well documented in current literature. American society of metabolic and bariatric surgery ( ASMBS) guidelines state that LGCP procedures should be considered investigational at this time and should be performed under a study protocol with third party oversight (e.g. IRB) to ensure continuous evaluation of patient safety and to review adverse events and outcomes.
A prospective nonrandomized study at Cleveland clinic suggested that a reduction in gastric capacity can be achieved by way of plication of stomach and thereby achieving encouraging weight loss. We intend to study this procedure as an alternative to LAGB or sleeve gastrectomy for carefully selected patients. The objective of this study will be to demonstrate feasibility , short term and long term safety and efficacy of LGCP . This will be done by achieving gastric restriction by infolding of stomach and thereby achieving good weight loss . The subjects will be followed up post operatively to observe the effect on the comorbidities along with sustained weight loss. The inclusion and exclusion criteria , target population, duration of subject participation and primary endpoints will be defined and all the data will be recorded per protocol.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Laparoscopic Greater Curvature PlicationProcedure or surgery
Also called Bariatric Surgery
The greater curvature of the stomach is separated from the greater omentum. At least two rows of at least five continuous stitches will be placed about the greater curvature of the stomach starting at or near the angle of His and ending in the antrum. An endoscope will be used to maintain a lumen during the procedure. The two tissue bites of an individual stitch will be centered about the intended fold line.
Subsequent stitches will be uniformly spaced distally along the length of the fold. The second row of sutures will be placed across the fold line created by the previous row of sutures in the same fashion as the first row. Up to 2 additional rows may be added as required to achieve this result (for a total of up to 4 rows). Upon completion of the procedure, the section of the stomach infolded by the sutures will be inspected using the endoscope.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percent excess weight loss
The percent excess weight loss at 3-years from the time of surgery. The primary analysis will include all available data at the 3-year follow-up.
Measured: 3 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Resolution of comorbidities
The following comorbidities will be assessed at regular intervals: diabetes, dyslipidemia, liver dysfunction, and hypertension. Measures will include glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, serum albumin, liver transaminases, systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
Measured: 3 years
