First Gastric Plication in Houston Performed by Texas Laparoscopic Consultants

By: TLC Surgery

Dr. Sherman Yu and Dr. Terry Scarborough are announcing the successful completion of the first gastric plication in Houston at their Texas Laparoscopic Consultants practice. The Houston bariatric surgeons say the new procedure allows them to limit the capacity of the stomach from an average of 32 ounces of liquid to four ounces without the need for foreign devices associated with the LAP-BAND® System, or cutting of the stomach used in the vertical sleeve gastrectomy.
