Résumé

Laparoscopic BariClip gastroplasty (LBCG) is a new reversible bariatric procedure designed to replicate the restrictive effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) by placing a clip vertically on the stomach. This technique achieves gastric lumen restriction without the need for resection, ensuring organ preservation and reversibility. However, concerns have arisen regarding potential complications such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), slippage, or erosion of the stomach. The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications of LBCG. This is a monocentric retrospective study. We analyzed 149 patients who underwent LBCG procedure between July 2021 and November 2023. A minimum follow-up period of 6 months was observed for all patients, recording clinically relevant GERD through GERD-Q score questionnaires. Weight loss was monitored through body mass index (BMI) and % total weight loss (%TWL), registered during follow-up visits. Overall, 149 patients were eligible for this study. Overall complication rate was 8% (12/149). The average BMI went from 40 ± 4.37 kg/m LBCG remains an experimental procedure that must be approached with caution. Nonetheless, the potential of LBCG to reproduce the effects of LSG while reducing GERD makes it a promising new reversible option for the treatment of morbid obesity.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic BariClip gastroplasty (LBCG) is a new reversible bariatric procedure designed to replicate the restrictive effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) by placing a clip vertically on the stomach. This technique achieves gastric lumen restriction without the need for resection, ensuring organ preservation and reversibility. However, concerns have arisen regarding potential complications such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), slippage, or erosion of the stomach. The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications of LBCG.
METHODS METHODS
This is a monocentric retrospective study. We analyzed 149 patients who underwent LBCG procedure between July 2021 and November 2023. A minimum follow-up period of 6 months was observed for all patients, recording clinically relevant GERD through GERD-Q score questionnaires. Weight loss was monitored through body mass index (BMI) and % total weight loss (%TWL), registered during follow-up visits.
RESULTS RESULTS
Overall, 149 patients were eligible for this study. Overall complication rate was 8% (12/149). The average BMI went from 40 ± 4.37 kg/m
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
LBCG remains an experimental procedure that must be approached with caution. Nonetheless, the potential of LBCG to reproduce the effects of LSG while reducing GERD makes it a promising new reversible option for the treatment of morbid obesity.
