Endoscopic Bariatric and Metabolic Therapies (EBMT) are a new addition to the treatment arsenal for obesity. These include devices which are placed or removed via flexible endoscopy, and procedures which utilize instruments that require flexible endoscopy for the indications of weight loss or treatment of glucose intolerance (from pre-diabetes to diabetes). The EBMTs are generally divided into gastric and small bowel categories, and although individual EBMTs may have unique mechanisms of action, similar themes in proposed mechanism of action are seen in the gastric and small bowel EBMTs respectively.
