Apollo ESG, Endosleeve, ESG-Max — What's the Difference?
ESG / Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
The formal medical name for the procedure. Endoscopic suturing reshapes the stomach into a tubular sleeve. No incisions, no stomach removed.
Endosleeve
The patient-friendly short name used by clinics worldwide. Identical to ESG.
Apollo ESG / Apollo Endosleeve
ESG performed with the Apollo OverStitch device — FDA-cleared and NICE-endorsed. The system we use at Istanbul Bariatric Center.
ESG-Max
Extended-suture variation (8–12 sutures vs the standard 6) for higher-BMI patients. Greater volume reduction and improved long-term durability.
