  • Publication number: 20230301810
    Abstract: A method for shortening a duodenum of a subject, the method including: manipulating a first surface of the duodenum wall such that a first portion of the first surface of the duodenum wall is layered onto a second portion of the first surface of the duodenum wall, thereby creating at least one fold in the first surface of the duodenum wall, and securing, utilizing at least one implant, the position of the at least one fold in relation to a surrounding surface of the duodenum wall, thereby shortening the duodenum of the subject.
