Gastric placation is a surgical procedure that is done for obesity. It is a part of obesity surgeries that we do. It is similar to sleeve resection but in sleeve we remove part of the stomach whereas in gastric plication we take the larger or the greater curvature of the stomach inwardly and we plicate and we pull it inside. In this procedure the amount of stomach we plicate we don’t know and the distensability of the stomach cannot be measured. The volume you create cannot be measured. There is a recurrence of obesity. The obesity surgery can fail if you do a plication procedure.
