The ROSE procedure is performed using a small flexible endoscope and a new EndoSurgical Operating System (EOS). The scope and the EOS instruments are inserted through the mouth into the stomach pouch the same way as a standard endoscope. Tissue anchors are used to create multiple, circumferential tissue folds around the stoma to reduce the diameter, typically to about 10mm. The surgeon will then use the same technique to place anchors in the stomach pouch to reduce its volume capacity. After the procedure the patient will enter Advanced Surgical Associates standard bariatric surgery follow-up program of nutritional counseling and exercise, similar (hopefully) to the one prescribed after their original or previous gastric bypass surgery.
