What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a technique used for bariatric surgery, with results comparable to conventional surgery, in order to treat morbid obesity. It has also less risks of complications, and it is not an irreversible technique. It can be repeated overtime, regarding the evolution of the gastroplasty. There is little data in the literature on the effectiveness of endoscopic "revision". This study will assess the benefits and costs of a revision during the follow-up endoscopy.
