Doctors of RKB RT have, for the first time in the Volga region, reduced a patient's stomach endoscopically through the mouth.

      Doctors at the Republican Clinical Hospital of Tatarstan performed gastroplasty on patients with obesity. This technology was applied for the first time in the Volga Federal District. Gastroplasty is performed without incisions using an endoscope. With the help of the device, stitches are placed inside the stomach, and the organ is sutured. After this, the patient's stomach volume decreases and their eating behavior changes – all of this leads to weight loss. The first patients to undergo the operation in Tatarstan were a man and a woman. Gastroplasty was performed on both patients on the same day. They were discharged from the clinic just a day after the operation.
