Abstract
The treatment of morbid obesity requires various surgical procedures, all of them being feasible through a mini-invasive approach (laparoscopy). It is highly recommended to seek and develop non invasive procedures, and thereby to redefine the cooperation between surgeons and endoscopists. Four examples of emblematic and recent techniques are picked up, two of them being surgical and laparoscopic but requesting intra-operative endoscopic control, two purely endoscopic and requesting a common approach.
