Secular trends of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty: analysis of the MBSAQIP database

CONCLUSION: The number of ESGs being performed has significantly increased over the past few years. Despite expanding ESG to a higher-risk patient population, the incidence of serious adverse events following ESG has remained extremely low with no significant increase over the study period. As endoscopic techniques continue to evolve, ESG acts as a model for the future of endoluminal therapies in high-risk patient populations.
