The Apollo Method, also known as Endoscopic Vertical Gastroplasty, is a stomach reduction technique that involves a series of sutures placed in the stomach walls, achieving a considerable reduction in volume so that it can accommodate less food. These sutures are placed orally through an endoscopic procedure. The procedure lasts between 50 and 80 minutes and requires anesthesia, so it is performed in an operating room for greater safety. However, no incisions are made; it is not surgery.
