Prince Court Medical Centre Pioneers Advanced Treatment for Weight Loss
22 Jan 2025

Prince Court Medical Centre notches another milestone as the first hospital in Malaysia to successfully perform Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, an innovative treatment for obesity. 

Prince Court Medical Centre Is First Hospital In Malaysia To Successfully Perform The Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) Procedure

 

Prince Court Medical Centre notches another milestone as the first hospital in Malaysia to successfully perform Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, an innovative treatment for obesity. 

This achievement highlights how the collaboration of a dedicated multi-disciplinary team can advance medical care and deliver innovative, patient-centred solutions. 

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that uses an endoscope and internal sutures to reshape the stomach and reduce its size, eliminating the need for external incisions. Patients benefit from quicker recovery times and minimal discomfort.

Datuk Dr. Ryan Ponnudurai described the introduction of the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty procedure in Malaysia as a milestone in weight-loss solutions. “We’re thrilled to introduce the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty procedure as a game-changer in obesity management. It provides patients with a safe and effective option, especially for those who want to avoid surgery.

Dr. Lim Shu Yu highlighted the value of providing diverse treatment options. “There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for weight loss and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is an excellent option among the many treatments available. It offers patients with a less invasive way to achieve their health goals without surgery, giving them more control over their weight and health.”

Prince Court’s first Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty procedure was performed on a 29-year-old patient, who experienced minimal bloating and resumed normal activities just a day after the treatment.

By introducing innovative solutions, Prince Court reinforces its commitment to clinical excellence while enhancing lives through cutting-edge healthcare.
