Brief summary

This is a prospective collection of data from adult patients who have had an endoscopic metabolic and bariatric endoscopy procedure (EMBT) for primary or revision surgical procedures for obesity.

Detailed description

The Investigators will be collecting data on bariatric patients post-bariatric surgery, post-endoscopic revision of bariatric surgical complications and post-endoscopic metabolic and bariatric therapies (including but not limited to roux-en-y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, gastroplasty with endoscopic myotomy (GEM), endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), transoral outlet reduction (TORe), primary obesity surgery endoluminal (POSE), restorative obesity surgery endoluminal (ROSE), intragastric balloons (IGB), aspiration therapy and pylorus sparing antral myotomy) to review demographics, adverse events, medications, radiology, procedure time, cost, comorbidity resolution and resource utilization.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPrimary Obesity Endoscopic Procedures

Any primary endoscopic procedure for treatment of obesity including endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), intragastric balloons (IGB), Aspiration therapy, pylorus sparing antral myotomy (PSAM), primary obesity surgery endoluminal (POSE), gastroplasty with endoscopic myotomy (GEM).

PROCEDUREEndoscopic Revision of Bariatric Surgical Procedures

Any endoscopic revision procedure in a post-bariatric surgical patient, including transoral outlet reduction (TORe), restorative obesity surgery endoluminal (ROSE), argon plasma coagulation of the outlet (APC), endoscopic suturing.

PROCEDUREBariatric Surgery Procedures

Any bariatric surgical procedure including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), laparoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (LSG), laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB)

DEVICEEndoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, Trans-oral Outlet Reduction

Any endoscopic procedure using an endoscopic suturing device for primary obesity treatment or revision of post bariatric complications.

An endoscopic bariatric procedure involving the placement of an intragastric balloon.

DEVICEPrimary obesity surgery endoluminal, Restorative obesity surgery endoluminal

Any endoscopic procedure using an endoscopic plicating device for primary obesity treatment or revision of post bariatric complications.

DEVICEArgon Plasma Coagulation, Gastroplasty with Endoscopic Myotomy, Bariatric Endoscopic Antral Myotomy, Pylorus Sparing Antral Myotomy

Electrosurgical interventions for obesity. Use of electrosurgical devices, such as electrocautery for the primary treatment of obesity or obesity related complications.

DEVICEAspiration Therapy

Placement of an aspiration therapy device for the treatment of obesity.
