What is Gastric Imbrication Surgery?

Gastric Imbrication is a minimally invasive, non-resective weight loss procedure. Unlike traditional bariatric surgeries, it does not involve cutting or removing any part of the stomach. Instead, the surgeon folds the stomach inward and sutures it, reducing its volume. This leads to a smaller stomach capacity, helping you feel full faster and eat less.

This surgery is ideal for individuals looking for a safer, reversible alternative to sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.

Conditions Treated

Gastric Imbrication may be suitable for people dealing with:

  • Obesity (BMI > 30)
  • Excess body weight not responding to diet and exercise
  • Early-stage metabolic syndrome
  • Weight regain after previous weight loss efforts
  • Preference for non-resective and reversible weight loss surgery

How Gastric Imbrication Works

  • Performed laparoscopically with small incisions
  • No removal of stomach tissue
  • Reversible and adjustable
  • Typically completed in 1–2 hours
  • Short hospital stay (usually 1–2 days)

The stomach is folded inward like an accordion and stitched along its length. The resulting smaller stomach size helps limit food intake and promote satiety.

Benefits of Gastric Imbrication Surgery

  • No cutting or stapling of the stomach
  • No foreign implants (like gastric bands)
  • Lower risk of complications
  • Short recovery time
  • Reversible and repeatable procedure
  • Helps improve obesity-related conditions (like high blood pressure, diabetes, PCOS)
