Abstract

Metabolic and Bariatric surgeries (MBS) have been shown to be the most effective strategy to induce and maintain significant weight loss for people living with severe obesity. However, ongoing concerns regarding operative risks, irreversibility and excess costs limit their broader clinical use. Endoscopic bariatric therapies are pragmatic alternatives for patients who are not suitable for MBS or who are concerned regarding its long-term safety. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) has emerged as a novel technique of endoscopic bariatric therapies which have garnered significant interests and evidence based in the past few years. Its safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness have been shown in various studies while comparison with sleeve gastrectomy has been widely made. This review brings together current evidence pertaining to the technicality of the procedure itself, current indications, safety and efficacy, cost-effectiveness as well as its future role and development.
