Development of minimally invasive techniques for management of medically-complicated obesity

Table 3 Endoscopic techniques for treatment of obesity

Technique	Proposed mechanisms of action
Intragastric balloon	Increases gastric distension and satiety and delays gastric emptying
Endolumenal vertical gastroplasty	Restriction of food intake and Induce early satiety
Transoral gastroplasty	Restriction of food intake
Trans-oral endoscopic restrictive Implant system	Restriction of food intake
Duodeno-jejunal bypass sleeve	Reduced intestinal digestion and absorption And delayed gastric emptying
Gastroduodenojejunal bypass sleeve	Prevent absorption of nutrients
Aspiration therapy	Reduced presence of available nutrients
