The Best of ASGE Endoscopy from DDW | June 2021-Plication Techniques on the Horizon

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Huberti, head of the Obesity Integration Center at Erismary Hospital in Brussels, Belgium, discusses the Endomena device, an over-the-scope device for stomach suturing. The device is inserted blindly into the stomach and uses a bendable coil with a pre-loaded needle and two tags. Different stitching techniques were used, including single lining and double lining to achieve better tubilization and stomach size restriction. The results showed 11% total body weight loss with single lining and 3% weight loss with diet and lifestyle counseling. The procedure group achieved an 18% weight loss at the end of the trial. The next steps include analyzing data regarding the number of sutures and studying comorbidities. No credits were given in the video.
