How does Endoscopic
Revision after Gastric
Bypass work?

Endoscopic revision involves passing a lighted instrument (a gastroscope) to the area where the stomach pouch joins the small intestine. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for maximum safety and comfort. Using the instrument, stitches are placed in order to reduce the size of the opening between the stomach pouch and the small intestine.

Stitches can also be placed to reduce the size of the gastric pouch. This procedure should help to limit the amount that can be eaten and increases the sensation of fullness after eating. This should result in renewed weight loss.

I could not be more pleased with the outcome and the treatment I received from Dr Staffetti, Shelley and all the office staff. The personal care and attention was unexpected but truly appreciated. Dr Staffetti made sure I had all the medications and knowledge I needed to make this procedure easy and symptom free. I highly recommend this office for ESG. If I ever need GI services in the future I would not hesitate to reach out to Dr Staffetti and his staff.

Advantages Compared to a Surgical Revision

Endoscopic revision is a nonsurgical procedure whereas surgical revision is invasive and has a higher chance of complications. Scarring and adhesions resulting from prior gastric bypass makes an open or laparoscopic surgical revision more technically difficult and riskier. Endoscopic revision is a nonsurgical procedure so there is no scarring, less risk of complications, less pain, and faster recovery. There is less time off needed from work and faster return to normal activities. The procedure is performed at an ambulatory surgery center as opposed to a hospital and is, therefore, more economical.
