Endoscopic Management of Bariatric Surgical Complications

Our team has extensive experience managing complications of various bariatric surgeries endoscopically. We work closely with surgical colleagues to ensure multidisciplinary care and allow for seamless transition if operative care is required. We have an international referral base and deal with the most complex conditions. Some of these include staple line leaks, gastrogastric fistula, ulcers, strictures, outlet stenoses, band erosions and sleeve stenoses.
