Abstract
|
|
|
|
Obesity is a serious disorder that increases morbidity and mortality. Primary intervention with life style modification and medication is not always effective for obese patients. Endoscopic management of obesity may be a less invasive, more cost-effective, and relatively safer option than bariatric surgery. Moreover, therapeutic endoscopy is considered to be the primary modality for managing complications that occur after bariatric surgery. In the near future, role of gastroenterologists will be more important in the management of obesity and its related problems.
