Endoscopic repair of a Gastric by-pass through the OverStitch Endoscopic Suture System of Apollo Endosurgery – this consists of the performance of a reduction by endoscopy of dilated gastrojejunal anastomosis, without the need for external incisions.

By means of an endoscopy through the mouth, sutures are made on the gastrojejunal anastomosis to reduce its size, so that food moves more slowly, provoking rapid satiation and delaying the onset of hunger.

This system of endoscopic suture can also reduce the sack or gastric reservoir when this has become excessively dilated.

The method is painless, although there may be some gastric discomfort, and patients usually recover quickly and can return to normal life within 24-48 hours of the procedure.
