Gastroplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size of the stomach to promote weight loss. It is often used in bariatric surgery to treat morbid obesity, limiting the amount of food the stomach can hold and reducing appetite.

During gastroplasty, the stomach is divided into a smaller upper pouch and the rest of the stomach is bypassed, reducing its capacity. This surgery can be done via open or laparoscopic methods.

Postoperative care includes a modified diet, pain management, and monitoring for complications such as infection or leakage from the surgical site. Patients will be closely monitored for long-term weight loss and nutritional deficiencies.

Gastroplasty provides a life-changing solution for patients struggling with obesity, helping them achieve significant weight loss and improve their health by reducing the risks associated with obesity-related conditions.
