Gastric Endoscopic, Dallas Procedures
EBMTs may be divided into gastric and
small-bowel interventions. Many of these were derived in part from surgical
correlates and attempt to mimic their mechanisms. For gastric interventions, this is accomplished by stimulating gastric mechanical and
chemical receptors, delaying gastric emptying and modulating levels of gastric
orexigenic hormones.
Analogues of
Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG)
VBG, or stomach stapling, was developed in 1980
by Mason. In this procedure, the upper stomach is stapled vertically to create
a small pouch along the lesser curve.
There have been two EBMTs that mimic the anatomy
and mechanisms of VBG. These are EndoCinch Endoluminal Vertical Gastroplasty
and TransOral GAstrooplasty.
Endoluminal Vertical Gastroplasty (EVG)
EVG is performed using the EndoCinch suturing
device (C.R. Bard, Inc., Murray Hill, NJ) and mimics the stapling portion of
VBG without the banding portion. No serious adverse events were reported and
weight loss at 1 year was 58.1±19.9% EWL.
TransOral GAstroplasty (TOGA)
TOGA (Satiety Inc, Palo Alto, CA) is an Endoscopic, Dallas stapling device first introduced in 2008
Despite these results, the FDA did not approve the system.
Analogues of
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB)
LAGB is a restrictive bariatric procedure where
an inflatable silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach with
a subcutaneous port that allows adjustment.
Transoral Endoscopic, Dallas Restrictive Implant
System was developed as an Endoscopic, Dallas corollary to LAGB.
Transoral Endoscopic, Dallas Restrictive
Implant System (TERIS)
TERIS (Barosense, Redwood City, CA) is an Endoscopic,
Dallasally implanted device introduced by Biertho and colleagues in 2009. It
consists of a prosthetic diaphragm placed at the gastric cardia to create a
small reservoir with a 10-mm orifice.
Analogues of
Laparoscopic Gastric Plication (LGP)
LGP, or gastric imbrication, is a restrictive
procedure first performed by Kirk in 1968. During this procedure, the stomach
is folded over and stitched to itself resulting in 75% reduction in gastric
size.
There have been three Endoscopic, Dallas procedures that may mimic the effects of LGP. These are RESTORe
Suturing System, Overstitch for Endoscopic, Dallas Sleeve Gastroplasty and
Incisionless Operating Platform for Primary Obesity Surgery Endolumenal.
- RESTORe Suturing System (TRIM Procedure)
- OverStitch for Endoscopic, Dallas Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
- Incisionless Operating Platform (IOP) for Primary Obesity Surgery Endolumenal (POSE)
Other Gastric
Procedures
Intragastric balloons (IGB)
The IGB was first approved in the U.S. in 1985
with the Garren Edwards Gastric Bubble. However, it was associated with
multiple adverse events including gastric mucosal damage and small bowel obstruction. A sham-controlled
trial failed to demonstrate efficacy and the device was withdrawn from the
market.
- TransPyloric Shuttle
- Full Sense Device
- Aspiration Therapy
- Botulinum Toxin injection
Because vagus-mediated antral contractions are
important for food propulsion into the duodenum, it has been hypothesized that
antral BTX-A injection may lead to weight loss by delaying gastric emptying and
inducing satiety.
