Core Tip
Core tip: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty offers satisfactory efficacy in weight loss, even though it is inferior to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and has lower risks of adverse events than surgical interventions and intragastric balloon within one-year follow-up. Furthermore, it may be the ideal weight control strategy for patients who have poor adherence to behavioral interventions.
