Recently, we have begun to perform arthroscopic capsular plication in patients with significant capsule redundancy and laxity. |
The ability to perform this procedure without thoracotomy minimized his hospital stay and recovery time while not compromising the integrity of the plication. |
Our patients who did not undergo bilateral plication showed a similar pattern. |
Surgical therapy in the form of diaphragmatic plication is often reluctantly considered because of the potential morbidity and disability associated with thoracotomy. |
This repair may be bolstered with absorbable mesh to reduce the cystocele during plication and further strengthen the fascial reapproximation. |
A potential improvement on sleeve gastrectomy is gastric imbrication or plication. |
