Abstract
Bariatric endoscopy has emerged as an alternative treatment modality for obesity and its related comorbidities. The field includes a wide range of procedures from endoscopic treatment for complications of bariatric surgery to performing primary endoscopic procedures for weight loss. Additionally, knowledge of adjunctive lifestyle therapy and pharmacotherapy are also critical to ensuring successful outcomes. This article reviews specific goals, resources, and specific steps for acquisition of specific cognitive and technical skills in bariatric endoscopic procedures.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
