Combining Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (F-ESG): An Endoscopic Approach to Treat Pathologic Gastroesophageal Reflux in Obesity
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and 12-month outcomes of a combined approach of Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) in managing obesity-related GERD.
Key Findings:
F-ESG effectively combined TIF and ESG in a single session.
No significant technical issues were reported during the procedures.
Follow-up data indicated improvements in GERD symptoms and weight loss.
Interpretation:
The F-ESG approach may provide a synergistic solution for patients with obesity-related GERD, addressing both conditions simultaneously with minimal invasiveness.
Limitations:
Small sample size and short follow-up duration.
Lack of a control group for comparative analysis.
Conclusion:
F-ESG represents a promising endoscopic strategy for managing obesity-related GERD, warranting further investigation in larger studies.
