Transoral outlet reduction: a comparison of pursestring to interrupted stitch technique

Weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) correlates with dilated gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA). Endoscopic sutured transoral outlet reduction (TORe) is safe and effective in the management, and has predominantly been performed by either (1) placing interrupted sutures at the GJA or (2) the creation of a pursestring. The aim of the current study was to compare these techniques.
