| 7 | Status of bariatric endoscopy–what does the surgeon need to know? A review显示文摘BACKGROUND Obesity is a chronic and multifactorial disease with a variety of potential treatment options available.Currently,there are several multidisciplinary therapeutic options for its management,including conservative,endoscopic,and surgical treatment.AIM To clarify indications,technical aspects,and outcomes of bariatric endoscopy.METHODS Narrative review of current literature based on electronic databases including MEDLINE(PubMed),Cochrane Library,and SciELO.RESULTS Bariatric endoscopy is in constant development and comprises primary and revisional treatment options as well as management of surgical complications.Various devices act upon different mechanisms of action,which may be individualized to each patient.Despite favorable results for the endoscopic treatment of obesity,prospective randomized studies with long-term follow-up are required to fully validate primary and revisional endoscopic therapies.Regarding the management of bariatric surgery complications,endoscopic therapy may be considered the procedure of choice in a variety of situations.Still,as there is no standardized algorithm,local experience should be considered in decision-making.CONCLUSION The treatment of patients with obesity is complex,and a multidisciplinary approach is essential.Bariatric endoscopy has shown impressive results both in the treatment of obesity and its surgical complications,and therefore,must be part of the armamentarium in the fight against this disease. | Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de Moura Anna Carolina Batista Dantas Igor Braga Ribeiro Thomas R McCarty Flávio Roberto Takeda Marco Aurelio Santo Sergio Carlos Nahas Eduardo Guimarães Hourneaux de Moura | 2022 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2022，14，2： | 0 |
