Summary: Gurugram (Haryana) [India] August 31 (ANI/NewsVoir): Artemis Hospital, Gurugram has become the first hospital in North India to introduce Endoscopic Sleeve

Weight-reducing
gastroplasty with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: impact on vitamin D status and bone remodeling markers.
NorthShore has been invited to participate in a Multicenter Endoscopic Sleeve
Gastroplasty (ESG) Randomized Trial (MERIT) for weight loss alongside prestigious healthcare centers including Mayo Clinic, University of Texas at Houston, and Johns Hopkins.
The surgical techniques are classified into two groups: restrictive techniques (vertical banded
gastroplasty, adjustable gastric band, sleeve or gastric tubulization) and mixed techniques, which have a restrictive and malabsorptive component.

Endoscopic sleeve
gastroplasty for obesity: A multicenter study of 248 patients with 24 months follow-up.
Procedures to reduce appetite include endoscopic sleeve
gastroplasty, in which sutures are used to decrease the stomach size, and intragastric balloon placement, in which the balloon occupies space within the stomach.
Currently, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, offers the sleeve
gastroplasty where suturing tube introduced through the oral mouth cavity stitches the stomach wall to reduce its size and thereby the intake of food.
Endoscopic sleeve
gastroplasty (ESG) was initially proposed by Abu Dayyeh et al .[28] The procedure requires the assistance of an endoscopic suture system; gastric volume is largely reduced by stitches in the stomach wall to create more gastric folds.

Another study with obese individuals, considering the periods before surgery and one and four years after laparoscopic sleeve
gastroplasty demonstrated vitamin D deficiency during all the supervised periods, with 96.2%, 89%, and 86%, respectively.
