Background: We assessed the feasibility and safety of a fully endoscopic one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) procedure in obese adult minipigs, with short bypass limb length if feasible or full length in a sham-controlled study.
Methods: A natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) OAGB procedure was performed in 4 obese adult Yucatan minipigs. Weight change was compared to 2 sham-controlled animals.
