Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a new non-surgical bariatric procedure that achieves a similar effect as gastric sleeve surgery. ESG requires no incisions or cutting into the stomach – the procedure is even less invasive than laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery. The patient experiences little or no pain during the procedure. Because it is an outpatient procedure, ESG is associated with an even quicker recovery time than minimally invasive weight-loss surgical procedures. Although the procedure is relatively new, ESG is considered safe and effective in treating conditions related to moderate obesity.
