[Revision bariatric surgery after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty].

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.
