Plication transoral outlet reduction effectively treats weight regain after RYGB: Study
Plication transoral outlet reduction (P-TORe) is effective in treating weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), according to a recent study published in the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
Gastric Plication involves inverting the stomach with tissue anchor placement to achieve serosa to serosa apposition. One potential application of gastric plication is the treatment of weight regain following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), a procedure also known as plication transoral outlet reduction (P-TORe). This study aims to assess the technical feasibility, safety and efficacy of Plication transoral outlet reduction (P-TORe).
This was a registry study of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients who underwent Plication transoral outlet reduction (P-TORe) for weight regain. The primary outcome was the amount of weight loss and clinical success rate, defined as per cent total weight loss (%TWL) of at least 5%, at 12 months. Secondary outcomes included technical success, adverse events (AEs) and predictors of weight loss.
