Abstract
As the prevalence of obesity and its devastating complications continue to increase, bariatric surgery has become an attractive long-term solution for many patients. In this comprehensive review, the authors discuss the role of endoscopy in patients who had undergone bariatric surgery. It is emphasized that before any endoscopic procedure, endoscopists should become familiarized with the new postsurgical anatomy. Bariatric surgery is associated with various complications that may require endoscopic intervention. Each type of surgical procedure provides different challenges for endoscopic evaluation and treatment. Because bariatric surgery is here to stay, endoscopists should start to get acquainted with the potential adverse events of the procedure and the indications for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.
