The laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) is a new restrictive bariatric surgical technique that has the potential to eliminate the complications associated with other restrictive procedures (i.e., gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy) by creating a restriction without the use of an implant and without performing gastric resection. LGP is notably similar to a sleeve gastrectomy in that it generates a gastric tube by means of eliminating the greater curvature but does so without gastric resection.
