Bariatric Endoscopy-A BUMP IN THE ROAD: PAVING THE WAY FOR A NEW ENDOSCOPIC SLEEVE TECHNIQUE

A BUMP IN THE ROAD: PAVING THE WAY FOR A NEW ENDOSCOPIC SLEEVE TECHNIQUE

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a new endoscopic sleeve technique is discussed. The case involves a 48-year-old female with a history of thyroid cancer, celiac disease, and obesity. Initially, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty was recommended, but during the procedure, a large submucosal lesion was discovered in the stomach. Further investigation revealed multiple cysts in the liver, which needed to be drained in order to proceed with the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. A novel suturing technique called the cable technique was used to create ridges along the stomach, foreshortening the lumen. The procedure was successful, and the patient was discharged the same day. This technique shows promise for future study. (No credits provided)
