This joint ASGE-ESGE guideline provides an evidence-based summary and recommendations regarding the role of endoscopic bariatric metabolic therapies (EBMTs) in management obesity. The document was developed using Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) framework. It evaluates efficacy safety EBMT devices procedures that currently have CE mark or FDA-clearance/approval, had been approved within five years development. suggests use EBMTs plus lifestyle modification...
Objective Endoscopic suture gastroplasty (ESG) has been developed as an alternative treatment for moderately obese patients. We present our results of a short-term randomised controlled trial on new suturing technique, the Endomina system (E-ESG, Endo Tools therapeutics, Belgium). Design Eligible patients (body mass index 30–40 kg/m 2 ) were in 2:1 ratio to receive lifestyle modification plus E-ESG or alone (control group); dietetic counselling and follow-up identical. Endpoints included...
Colonoscopy is associated with discomfort that requires intravenous sedation (IVS). The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to explore the feasibility virtual reality distraction (VRD) for colonoscopy using two primary endpoints: cecal intubation rate and rescue IVS. Patients scheduled elective IVS were in a 2:1 ratio favor VRD, by propofol if needed. VRD involved use device providing visual auditive experience similar clinical hypnosis. Ninety patients included (VRD:60, IVS:...
Obesity is the pandemic disease of this century. Surgery only effective treatment but cannot be offered to every patient. Endoscopic sutured gastroplasty a minimally invasive technique that may potentially fill gap between surgery and behavioral therapy. In study, we prospectively investigated efficacy safety novel suturing device.After pre-bariatric multidisciplinary work-up, class 1 2 obese patients were included. Using simple triangulation platform, transmural sutures with...
Main recommendations Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, degenerative, multifactorial disease that associated with many co-morbidities. The global increasing burden of obesity has led to calls for an urgent need additional treatment options. Given the rapid expansion bariatric endoscopy and surgery across Europe, European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recognized formalize enhance training in endoscopic surgical adverse events. This manuscript represents outcome formal Delphi process...
Type 2 diabetes is a pandemic disease with an incidence that has risen steadily over recent decades. Experimental evidence in animals demonstrated intestinal bypass surgery of the upper small intestine, particularly duodenum, important role glucose homoeostasis. Furthermore, Roux-en-Y performed as bariatric shown to correct hyperglycaemia from first postoperative days obese diabetic patients. Therefore, on basis these considerations, duodenal mucosal resurfacing was studied type patients...
Abstract Background and study aims This was a single-blind, single-center, prospective randomized controlled trial aimed at comparing the efficacy of three different suture patterns for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty using Endomina (E-ESG). Patients methods The to modify gastric accommodation by increasing fundus distention ability (Group A), reduce volume B) or interrupt emptying C). were 1:1:1 underwent clinical follow-up, scintigraphy, satiety tests baseline 6 12 months post-procedure....
Continuous delivery to the jejunum of levodopa-carbidopa is a promising therapy in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, as it reduces motor fluctuation. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and jejunal tube (PEG-J) placement suitable option for this. However, studies focused PEG-J management are lacking.We report our experience regarding this technique, including technical success, adverse events outcomes, disease.Twenty-seven disease (17 men, median age: 64 years, duration: 11 years)...
### Message Magnetic compression resulting in serosa-to-serosa apposition followed by pressure necrosis has been shown to be able create solid anastomostic connections and reported conditions such as oesophageal atresia, benign biliary strictures malignant gastric outlet obstruction. This first series evaluated this technique for the management of large intrathoracic diverticula creating a communication between bottom diverticulum distal oesophagus followed, second endoscopy session,...
Abstract Gastrointestinal stimulator implants have recently shown promising results in helping obese patients lose weight. However, to place the implant, patient currently needs undergo an invasive surgical procedure. We report a less procedure stimulate stomach with gastrostimulator. After attempting fully endoscopic implantation, we more focused on single incision percutaneous In both cases, challenges electronic design of implant are largely similar. This article covers work achieved meet...
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is used to achieve R0 and comes from the need overcome limitations of endoscopic submucosal dissection in management lesions arising from, or infiltrating, muscularis propria (subepithelial tumor) nonlifting partially treated lesions.1Huang L.-Y.
