Outcomes of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Following Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band: A Propensity Score-matched Analysis.

Background: The performance of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) in patients with prior laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) has not been characterized.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective propensity score-matched study of ESG after LAGB at 2 centers with expertise in bariatric endoscopy. The primary outcome was total weight loss (TWL) at 12 months.

Endoscopic revision of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (ER-OAGB) for weight recurrence: a case series of 17 adults.

Weight recurrence after one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), the third most common metabolic and bariatric surgery performed worldwide, is observed in a subset of patients due to the chronic, progressive nature of obesity. Endoscopic revision of the OAGB (ER-OAGB) through full-thickness suturing to reduce the gastrojejunal anastomosis and gastric pouch is a potential alternative to surgical revision. Here, we present a case series of ER-OAGB and long-term nutritional support at two international centers with expertise in bariatric endoscopy.

Transoral outlet reduction: Outcomes of endoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass revision in 284 patients at a community practice.

Background: Transoral outlet reduction (TORe) is a minimally invasive endoscopic revision of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for weight recurrence; however, little has been published on its clinical implementation in the community setting.

Aim: To characterize the safety and efficacy of TORe in the community setting for adults with weight recurrence after RYGB.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of argon plasma coagulation and purse-string suturing for gastric outlet reduction in consecutive adults with weight recurrence after RYGB at a single community center from September 2020 to September 2022.

Performance Characteristics of Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty in Patients with Prior Intragastric Balloon: Results of a Propensity Score Matched Study.

Introduction: The performance characteristics of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) for weight recurrence after intragastric balloon (IGB) are unknown.

Methods: This is a retrospective propensity score matched study of ESG after IGB (IGB-to-ESG) vs ESG without prior IGB (ESG-only). The primary outcome was total weight loss (TWL) at 12 months.
