ASGE Endo Hangout: Management of Post-Bariatric Complications

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The ASGE Endo Hangout for GI Fellows video presentation focused on the endoscopic management of post-bariatric complications. The experts discussed the importance of understanding the normal anatomy after different types of bariatric surgeries, common complications such as weight regain and ulcers, and potential treatment options. They mentioned procedures like trans-outlet reduction endoscopy (TORY) for weight regain and the use of open capsule PPIs and stenting for ulcer management. The presenters encouraged fellows to actively participate in bariatric endoscopy training and seek out mentorship and training opportunities. They emphasized the need for gastroenterologists to become more involved in obesity and metabolic care. The presentation highlighted the benefits of endoscopic interventions, the importance of patient evaluation, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to post-bariatric complications.<br /><br />In another presentation, the speaker discussed various bariatric surgery complications and their endoscopic management. Cases presented included sleeve gastrectomy stenosis, gastrointestinal fistula, and gastro-gastric fistula. They emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and understanding the underlying anatomy and physiology. Treatment options discussed included pneumatic dilation, pigtail stent placement, and endoscopic vacuum therapy. The speaker also highlighted the role of gastroenterologists in managing obesity through endoscopic and medical interventions. The presentation provided valuable insights and tips for fellows interested in bariatric endoscopy.<br /><br />No specific credits were mentioned as the summaries focused on the content of the presentations.
