Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) – A Non-Surgical Weight Loss Solution
What is ESG?
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical weight-loss procedure that reduces the stomach’s size using an endoscopic suturing device. This procedure helps patients achieve significant weight loss and improve obesity-related health conditions without the need for traditional surgery. ESG is performed under general anesthesia.
Mawar Medical Center – Leading the Way in ESG
At Mawar Medical Center, obesity is managed by a multidisciplinary team, including a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, anesthetist, psychiatrist, and dietitian. Mawar Medical Center is the first center in Malaysia to officially offer ESG to patients and has successfully completed the proctorship program.
