Abstract

Digestive endoscopy is not been done by surgeons for several years. Currently, interventional gastroenterologists are not many and have difficulty meeting the demand. The growth in the number of bariatric surgery procedures increases this demand even further. The fact that bariatric surgeons do endoscopy allows for faster and more efficient management of patients. The ideal is medical-surgical collaboration.
