To date, diet programs and medical therapies for the treatment
of obesity have had limited success. Bariatric surgery, however,
provides a means of effective weight loss for many of those with
morbid obesity. Most of these weight loss procedures are performed
with a variety of techniques that continue to evolve. Each
technique is associated with unique challenges and complications
and it is important for the clinician to be knowledgeable about the
endoscopic management of these patients. Additionally, as
endoscopic technology evolves it may offer more than just the
diagnosis and treatment of complications. Endoscopic therapy may
soon allow less invasive bariatric revision procedures as well as a
variety of primary obesity therapies for various patient
populations. "Bariatric Endoscopy" reviews the management of
obesity, normal post-surgical anatomy, endoscopic and medical
management of post-surgical complications, and future endoscopic
therapies for obesity management. Organized into five sections, the
volume covers an obesity overview, traditional therapy, endoscopy
and the bariatric patient, medical management of post-surgical
complications, and the future role of endoscopy in obesity
management. Detailed illustrations are also provided for surgical
procedures, complications and obesity management chapters. Authored
by authorities in the field, "Bariatric Endoscopy" is an
indispensible tool for the gastroenterologist or surgical
endoscopist as they care for patients with complicated bariatric
issues.
