Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a common bariatric surgery, but about 20% of patients experience weight regain, often due to the enlargement of the anastomosis.
A study evaluated the effects of endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) on these enlarged anastomoses compared to standard multidisciplinary management.
Results showed that patients treated with APC had significant improvements in weight loss, satiety, and overall quality of life, indicating that APC is a safe and effective option for managing weight regain after surgery.
