When Surgeons and Endoscopists Are Possible Opponents

  • First Online:
Bariatric Therapy

Abstract

If endoscopists and surgeons’ interests may collide against each other occasionally, most of the time bariatric patients will find and also require a sound collaboration, to define the best strategy. Class I obesity (BMI 30–35 kg/m2) seems the most important field where endoscopy and bariatric surgery compete, a competition that is intensified by national guidelines and insurance requirements. Currently, surgical techniques like gastric plication and bypass-malabsorption have an endoscopic counterpart that is being developed, while GORD is an intricate issue. Recommendations could be instrumental soon.
