Background Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is a new restrictive bariatric procedure. The aim of the present study is to report the outcome of LGCP in 40 morbidly obese patients over a period of 3 years of follow-up. Patients and methods All procedures were completed laparoscopically. The mean operative time was 123.5 min (85-200 min) and the mean duration of hospital stay was 1.1 days (1-3 days). No intraoperative complications were reported. The mean excess weight loss was 34.93 ± 19.85% at the end of the study. Conclusion LGCP is feasible and safe when applied to morbidly obese patients, but it has an unsustainable effect on weight loss.
