- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the effectiveness of the endoluminal sleeve (ELS) in treating obesity and diabetes. The findings suggest that selective bypass of the proximal intestine by ELS mimics many of the effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on body weight and glucose metabolism. The ELS device shows promise as a valuable alternative to more invasive surgical approaches in selected patients with obesity and its metabolic complications.
