Background:
Attempts are being made in recent years to replace open surgery with endoscopic techniques in some obese patients when medical treatment fails, as they are considered to be less-invasive procedures. To date, there is little scientific evidence regarding their effectiveness.
Clinical Cases:
The cases are reported of 2 patients who attended our surgery looking for an effective bariatric surgical treatment after failed endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty.
Conclusions:
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy after failure of an endoscopic technique does not offer great variation from the standard technique.
