Gastroplication

/ˌɡæstɹoʊplɪˈkeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A surgical procedure in which folds are created in the stomach wall by folding and stitching the tissue, often used to reduce stomach size for weight loss.

Etymology

From gastro- (stomach) + plication (from Latin plicare, meaning 'to fold'). This technique creates internal folds to reduce the stomach's capacity without removing tissue.

Kelly Says

Gastroplication is like making origami with someone's stomach—surgeons fold the tissue and stitch it to make the stomach smaller, but unlike gastric bypass, it's reversible!
