The Endoscopic Mega Plication Procedure (EMPP). Prospective Study of the Primary Obesity Surgery Endoluminal (POSE) with Double G-Lix Procedure for treatment of Obesity. Safety and effectiveness at three-month follow-up

Aims The Endoscopic Mega Plication procedure ( EMPP ) involves a novel pattern of full-thickness gastric body plications to shorten and narrow the stomach using the IOP platform ( POSE ) with 33 mm G-Prox and durable snowshoe anchor pairs and two G-lix simultaneously to achieve larger folds and reduce the number of plications per procedure. Our prospective trial examined the safety and durability of EMPP in adults with obesity.
