Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery

Endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBT) are minimally invasive procedures performed using flexible endoscopes. They include techniques such as intragastric balloons, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, and aspiration therapy. EBTs aim to bridge the gap between medical management and traditional bariatric surgery, offering a less invasive option for weight loss. These procedures are generally reversible and may be suitable for patients with lower BMIs or those who are not candidates for surgical interventions.
