Comparison of distal primary obesity surgery endolumenal techniques for the treatment of obesity (with videos)
Distal primary obesity surgery endolumenal (POSE) procedures involve plication of the gastric body, sparing the fundus. We aim to assess the efficacy of distal POSE procedures and to compare plication techniques (single-helix vs double-helix approaches).Endoscopic gastroplasty versus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a noninferiority propensity score–matched comparative study
Endoscopic bariatric therapies are less-invasive alternatives to bariatric surgery, and endoscopic gastroplasty (ESG) represents the latest evolution. This study aims to compare weight loss, safety, and comorbidity resolution of ESG compared with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
