Case Presentation: We present a case of a 79-year-old male with gastric outlet obstruction resulting from a stomach herniation through a large left inguinal hernia.

The study is the first to assess the argon-plasma coagulation ArC Smart linear beam for mucosal ablation in transoral outlet reduction for weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The noncontact design of the linear beam can enhance tissue healing and remodeling of gastrojejunal anastomosis by causing a uniform scarring with minimal tissue injury. We followed patients for 45 days, during which none experienced gastrointestinal bleeding, stenosis, or ulcers, reporting 9.
