Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is a new metabolic/bariatric surgery technique that reduces the gastric volume by placing at least two rows of nonabsorbable sutures on the greater gastric curvature. Fried et al. report the outcomes of LGCP in 224 patients with morbid obesity. Weight change was assessed at 6, 12 and 18 months. The results show that this procedure leads to significant weight loss and reduction in type 2 diabetes mellitus, with few complications.
