In this video, we will discuss that As the demand for non-surgical weight loss solutions continues to rise, Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) has emerged as a groundbreaking alternative to traditional bariatric surgery. This video presents a high-definition animation of the ESG procedure performed using the Apollo ESG system, offering viewers a clear, step-by-step understanding of this innovative and incisionless technique.

What Is ESG?

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is a minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure designed to reduce the size of the stomach without the need for surgical incisions or tissue removal. It is performed entirely through the mouth using a flexible endoscope equipped with the Apollo OverStitch™ suturing device. The procedure involves placing full-thickness sutures along the greater curvature of the stomach, effectively creating a tube or “sleeve” that limits food intake and promotes early satiety.

Key Highlights of the Animation in This Video

Step-by-Step Visualization

The animation begins with the introduction of the endoscope into the stomach through the esophagus. It visually demonstrates how the Apollo ESG system is carefully maneuvered to allow precise suture placement.

Suturing Technique

Viewers can observe how the sutures are placed in a U-pattern or triangular stitch configuration, reducing the stomach’s volume by nearly 70%. This simulated procedure emphasizes the accuracy and safety of the technique.

Tissue Approximation Without Resection

Unlike surgical sleeve gastrectomy, ESG does not involve cutting or removing any part of the stomach. The animation clearly depicts how the internal architecture is altered using only sutures, preserving natural anatomy.

Outcomes and Benefits

The video briefly touches upon the benefits of ESG, including no external scars, reduced risk of complications, shorter recovery time, and significant, sustainable weight loss for patients with a BMI typically between 30–40 kg/m².

Educational Value

This animated video serves as an excellent educational resource for:
Patients considering non-surgical options for weight loss
Healthcare professionals and trainees learning about advanced endoscopic bariatric procedures
Hospital websites, clinics, and academic platforms introducing ESG to a broader audience

Conclusion

The Apollo ESG system represents a major advancement in the field of endobariatrics, offering a safe, effective, and less invasive approach to weight loss. This animated video simplifies the understanding of a technically sophisticated procedure, making it accessible to both patients and professionals.

Watch the full animation to see how ESG is performed step-by-step, and learn how this scarless procedure is helping thousands achieve healthier lives. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more advanced surgical education content.
