Pdf Summary

Dr. Vincent Huberty of ULB Erasme Hospital in Brussels, Belgium, discusses the endomina plication technique. He discloses that he is a shareholder and consultant for Endo Tools Therapeutics S.A. He clarifies that the devices used in these techniques are not available for sale in the United States and that all the results presented are from studies conducted in Europe under the CE mark of the devices. He also states that the content of his presentation has not been approved by Endo Tools Therapeutics S.A. and may not necessarily reflect the company's opinion.<br /><br />The plication technique involves using a tissue approximation device that can be fitted onto standard single channel gastroscopes. The device is assembled inside the stomach and consists of a preloaded needle for transmural tissue approximation.<br /><br />Feasibility and efficacy studies have been conducted using different suturing patterns, including single line and double line patterns. Comparisons have been made between these patterns in terms of length/volume reduction and ring formation.<br /><br />The studies have shown positive results in terms of weight loss and reduction in body mass index (BMI). The target population for these techniques is adults with a BMI of 30-40 kg/m². Low-intensity lifestyle therapy is also recommended alongside the procedure.<br /><br />The next steps for research include further analysis of patterns, the impact of the procedure on comorbidities, such as sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and collecting data from beyond the European setup.<br /><br />It is important to note that the information presented in the document is based on Dr. Vincent Huberty's personal disclosures and may not necessarily represent a complete overview of the endomina plication technique or reflect the opinions of Endo Tools Therapeutics S.A.
