Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity. However, only small number of patients undergo surgery despite definite benefits. The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with flexible device is an essential tool in the evaluation of post bariatric surgery patient. It plays an important role in treating complications occurring after bariatric surgery. Recently, there has been active research and development on endoscopic procedures to achieve similar effects with bariatric surgery in less invasive ways. Endoluminal interventions performed using flexible endoscopy might be less effective than current surgical approaches, but it can offer alternative approaches to the treatment of obesity that are safer and more cost-effective. This article provides an overview of endoscopic procedures for postoperative complication and new emerging endoscopic techniques for primary endoscopic bariatric therapies. Knowing the type, indication, expected effect, and development potential of endoscopic procedures might be of great help to surgeons performing bariatric procedures.","PeriodicalId":73828,"journal":{"name":"Journal of metabolic and bariatric surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44844458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medical therapies only, however, cannot provide reasonable weight loss in all age groups. Bariatric surgery has been shown to provide a significant and durable alternative for weight loss in the adult and now the adolescent population. Bariatric surgery in the young proved to be more effective over time than other less-invasive approaches. With the increasing number of morbidly obese children and adolescents with the relative ineffectiveness of medical therapy in these age groups, bariatric surgery consistently provides a solution for significant weight loss and the resolution of comorbidities. Several studies in the past 3 years have demonstrated the overall effectiveness of adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss and co-morbidity improvement in adolescents. Clinicians should ensure that an adolescent continues to adhere to the necessary dietary changes, supplemental medications, and life-long monitoring. Growing fund of knowledge in regard to the efficacy and complication rates of bariatric surgery will ultimately result in its more widespread acceptance. It appears that bariatric surgery for adolescents has caught on, whether “right” or “wrong.” But the current strict requirements for having a bariatric procedure should not be relaxed until we know more.","PeriodicalId":73828,"journal":{"name":"Journal of metabolic and bariatric surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71365832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
