| Core Tip |
Patients with obesity wishing to avoid bariatric surgery can benefit from endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), but little has been published about the safety and efficacy of ESG in those with class III obesity (body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2). Based on this appraisal of a large, international cohort, ESG can be safely performed in adults with class III obesity, with clinically meaningful weight loss at one year that can be maintained over the subsequent two years, as well as improvement in weight-related comorbidities. Patients and medical providers should be made aware that ESG combined with longitudinal nutritional support is a promising weight loss tool for those with class III obesity. |
