Core Tip	Obesity is a global health problem with increasing prevalence but with limited treatment options. Dietary and pharmacologic measures are often ineffective, with surgery being reserved for the refractory cases. Therapeutic endoscopy provides several minimally invasive options to manage obesity with promising results. However, their use has not been widely adopted. In our article, by reviewing all the relevant literature, we critically appraise all available endoscopic treatments to facilitate clinical decision-making and highlight areas that need to be investigated in future studies.
