The POSE2 Endo-Sleeve, Pose procedure, Apollo procedure, Gastric Sleeve Plication, or also known as gastric Sleeve, is a novel laparoscopic treatment for stomach reduction.

In Turkey, this procedure is performed laparoscopically.

A large part of the stomach is folded and sutured from the outside.

Thus, the stomach loses a large proportion of its filling volume & only small portions can be taken.

The stomach volume can be reduced by up to 75%.

In Germany, the stomach volume is reduced by about 25%.

The disadvantages of stomach folding:

If you have a tumor in the stomach, unfortunately you can not see it if it is in the folded area.

You will always be hungry, since the hunger center is not removed, as with the tube stomach, Gastric sleeve,

or in the case of stomach reduction.

This operation cannot be reversed.

If food or drinks get into the clamped stomach, they can not drain into the intestine.

(if it is performed endoscopically as in Germany)
