Endoscopic Suturing Platforms for Bariatric Procedures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Innovative Endoscopic and Surgical Technology in the GI Tract

Abstract

Obesity treatment is a burning issue. The limited penetration rate of bariatric surgery, although effective to 1% of the eligible obese population and the scarce outcome of pharmacological options, created a very favorable space for less morbid alternative treatments such as primary bariatric endoscopic techniques. Among the bariatric endoluminal approaches, gastric volume reduction using endoscopic suturing platforms is gaining popularity over the last few years. This chapter describes the mechanism of action and evaluates the efficacy and safety of the suturing platform currently available on the market.
