Zusammenfassung:	A surgical system for performing gastroplasty is disclosed. The system includes an elongated body (23) adapted to be inserted into the esophagus with a proximal end (22) extending from a body orifice. A working member (24) includes a pair of elongated suction cavities that capture and excise portions of the anterior and posterior stomach walls and apply sutures to the captured tissue, which, when drawn tight, serve to create a modified lumen in the stomach. Se describe un sistema quirúrgico para realizar gastroplastía. El sistema incluye un cuerpo (23) alargado adaptado para insertarse en el esófago con un extremo (22) próximo que se extiende desde un orificio del cuerpo. Un miembro (24) operativo incluye un par de cavidades alargadas de succión que capturan y extirpan porciones de las paredes del estómago anterior y posterior y aplican suturas al tejido capturado las cuales, cuando se aprietan, sirven para crear un lumen modificado en el estómago.
