Primary Endoluminal Obesity Surgery (POSE) or stomach reduction without incisionsis a novel treatment which represents the safer and less invasive surgical option to deal with obesity. The surgery is carried out endoscopically, with no incisions made, and performs a series of folds in the gastric fundus in order to reduce stomach capacity.

For decades surgeons have practised different abdominal surgeries to help people lose weight. These types of operations are very effective, but come with the risks associated with open or laparoscopic surgery, and for that reason they are only prescribed in cases of extreme obesity. POSE, being a process without incisions, offers significant advantages over the other surgeries: less painful, decreased risk of infection, no external scarring, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays or outpatient treatment.
