[Revision bariatric surgery after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty]

Abstract

Background: Attempts are being made in recent years to replace open surgery with endoscopic techniques in some obese patients when medical treatment fails, as they are considered to be less-invasive procedures. To date, there is little scientific evidence regarding their effectiveness.

Clinical cases: The cases are reported of 2 patients who attended our surgery looking for an effective bariatric surgical treatment after failed endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy after failure of an endoscopic technique does not offer great variation from the standard technique.
