The BariClip procedure, which has the advantages of being able to reverse by cutting or not cutting the stomach, reproduces the effect of sleeve gastrectomy without increasing the risk of leakage [1, 2] and reduces postoperative GERD formation by lowering intragastric pressure [3]. We present a regulated video demonstrating the placement of a BariClip, including the main steps of the procedure for a female patient with a BMI of 41 kg/m2. A 36 F bougie is placed to calibrate the size of the pouch...

Read MoreIn the last 20 years, morbid obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. More than one in every two adults and one in every six children are overweight or obese. It is estimated that there are 671 million obese people (BMI>30) in the world...
Read MoreThe most commonly performed bariatric surgery procedure, sleeve gastrectomy, carries both short-term complications, including bleeding and gastric fistula, and long-term limitations such as weight regain and gastroesophageal reflux. To overcome most of these limitations, a new procedure has been proposed: Laparoscopic vertical clip gastroplasty (LVCG) with BariClip...
Read MoreFrom its first description by Michel Gagner in the 1990s as the initial step of a two-stage DS in superobese patients to being recognized as an independent procedure in bariatric surgery for all patients in the late 2000s, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy becomes the first globally applied bariatric procedure...
Read MoreLaparoscopic BariClip gastroplasty (LBCG), while maintaining the advantages of simplicity and anatomical preservation, will address a tubular restriction similar to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) achieved at the level of the gastric fundus. The aim of the current study was to analyze the risk of slippage and present the evolving technique by adding gastro-gastric plication of the stomach wall covering the BariClip in areas where the stomach wall "slides" between the arms of the clip...
Read MoreBackground: Morbid obesity continues to be one of the significant medical dilemmas in society. It is rapidly worsening, and by 2020, it is expected to affect 35% of the US population. Existing common bariatric procedures include adjustable gastric banding, gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy, but they are not limited to these...
Read MoreBackground: In the last decade, various techniques have emerged, and bariatric trends have changed. A proposed new bariatric procedure is laparoscopic vertical clip gastroplasty, which mimics the principle of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy but with a completely reversible mechanism...
