Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	GASTROPLICATURE	All procedures were performed by a single surgeon. All patients underwent 2-row gastric plication. Dissection was started at the greater curvature of the stomach in contact to the gastric wall from prepyloric area to 2-cm proximal to the Hiss angle preserving the anatomy of Hiss angle. All vessels along the greater curvature were separated using LigaSure (Covidien, Mansfield, MA, USA). The greater curvature (from the perimeter) was invaginated using 2 rows of 00 prolene or 00 nylon sutures. Two layers of plication were performed with continuous sutures with 1 surgical sting in all patients to prevent any displacement of inverted folds such as eversion outside or intussusception into esophagus or pylorus. All sutures were extramucusal to avoid their absorption by gastric acid. Finally, a tube shaped stomach was achieved in which the greater curvature was inverted in to the stomach.
