Endo Sleeve or Endoscopic Obesity Treatment
The Endosleeve is an innovative, non-invasive surgical procedure for weight loss. It involves reducing the size of the stomach using advanced endoscopic technique, without external incisions, allowing for a faster recovery and effective results.
The endoscopic gastroplasty or Endo sleeve (ESG) involves suturing the wall of the stomach. Therefore, it's a procedure that delivers the same results as a sleeve surgery but is reversible.

Definition of the Endosleeve or Gastric Plication
The Endosleeve, also known as the Endoscopic Sleeve or gastric plication, is a non-surgical endoscopic procedure that reduces the size of the stomach by forming internal folds using special sutures, reducing the size of the stomach without removal. The reduction in stomach size promotes weight loss by reducing caloric intake - much like a sleeve gastrectomy.
A gastroscope is used for this procedure on the abdominal wall. It effectively and safely reduces the volume of the stomach. By reducing its volume, the stomach can no longer absorb as much food, leading to the loss of excess weight.
The Endosleeve is an endoscopic procedure that avoids the need to remove part of the stomach, make intestinal anastomoses, or incise the abdominal wall. Compared to sleeve surgery, this method has fewer risks. Generally, any post-procedure adjustment is done by endoscopy and very rarely by surgery. Patient safety remains a top concern for both doctors and the patients themselves.
Procedure Flow
The Endosleeve is performed using a flexible endoscope that is inserted through the mouth and guided to the stomach. Once in place, special sutures are used to reduce the size of the stomach by forming internal folds and pleats. This creates a sensation of fullness faster and reduces caloric intake.

The Endosleeve is recommended for individuals with moderate to severe obesity who have difficulty losing weight with non-surgical methods. It's a great option for those wanting to avoid a more invasive surgical procedure while still benefiting from significant weight loss advantages.
Anesthesia for Endosleeve
The Endosleeve procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Using an endoscope through the mouth, special sutures are placed in the stomach. After the stomach reduction procedure is completed, the accessories are removed from the body.
The procedure takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes. With the help of this method, it is possible to reduce the stomach volume by 60 to 80%. If the results are not satisfactory after the procedure, it can be repeated, further reducing the stomach.
How long is needed to perform an Endo Sleeve?
The duration of hospitalization varies from 1 to 2 days depending on the type of procedure and the general condition of the person. It may be extended if complications occur after the surgery. 2 or 3 days off work after leaving the hospital are recommended.
