Reconstructing the puzzle of the role of therapeutic endoscopy in the management of post-bariatric surgery complications

Core Tip

Core Tip: Over the last decade, the incidence of bariatric surgery has substantially increased. Despite advances in surgical techniques, postoperative complications emerge and require a multidisciplinary approach. Currently, there is no standardized guideline-based algorithm for managing bariatric complications (BC); however, minimally invasive treatments are generally preferred over reoperations. Endoscopic procedures provide minimally invasive options to manage BC. However, their exact role has not been completely delineated. The article by Larsen and Kozarek successfully addressed this issue; however, we identified several limitations that require further consideration. Therefore, we would like to share our views on this interesting review.
