Gastric interventional endoscopy

Curr Opin Gastroenterol. 2017 Nov;33(6):461-466. doi: 10.1097/MOG.0000000000000397.

Abstract

Purpose of review: To review new advances in gastric interventional endoscopy.

Recent findings: Implementation of gastric endoscopy as a therapeutic option in obesity, gastric cancer, and gastroparesis.

Summary: Less invasive new gastric endoscopic procedures can potentially replace currently offered laparoscopic approaches in many fields. In this article, we will review the use of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty as a weight loss procedure, endoscopic submucosal dissection in treatment of early gastric cancer, and gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy in treatment of refractory gastroparesis. These procedures can increase access to bariatric weigh loss procedures, provide an organ-saving curative option for early gastric cancer, and offer a new modality to improve refractory gastroparesis.
