Abstract
Purpose of review: We review and summarize current evidence-based management strategies in the field of endobariatrics (EBT) for the management of obesity during a time of rapidly expanding pharmacologic options, particularly with rising popularity of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs).
Recent findings: National trends show increased use of GLP-1 RAs in obesity management. EBT are minimally invasive endoscopic therapies that offer durable weight loss with low complications rates. Patient comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, and adherence are critical considerations in treatment selection. Emerging data suggest that combining GLP-1 RAs with EBTs may yield synergistic effects.
Summary: A growing array of treatment options are available in the management of obesity. Personalized, combination therapy that integrates mechanism-based interventions with pharmacotherapy may optimize long-term outcomes for sustained weight loss. Multidisciplinary approach remains essential for delivering comprehensive multidisciplinary care.
