Clinical efficacy analysis of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in the treatment of obesity
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(ESG)in the treatment of obesity.Method A 26 year old female patient was admitted on October 20,2022 due to a progressive increase in weight for 2 years.Her body mass index(BMI)was 30.04 kg/m2,body fat percentage was 39.2%,and visceral fat grade was 15.ESG was performed using the OverStitchSX endoscopic suture system.Result The surgery was successful,with approximately 5 ml of intraoperative bleeding.The patient discharged on the first day after surgery.Two weeks after surgery,small bowel follow-through showed a tubular shape of the stomach.At 6 months after surgery,the BMI was 25.2 kg/m2,body fat percentage was 32%,visceral fat grade was 10.The total body weight loss rate(%TBWL)at 6 months after surgery was 16%,and the excess weight loss rate(%EWL)was 54.5%.Conclusion ESG is effective for the treatment of obesity.
