Endoscopic treatments for acid reflux including transoral incisionless fundoplication have been developed as potential alternatives to surgery. Endoscopic bariatric methods, including intragastric balloons, sleeve gastroplasty, and duodenal resurfacing and diversion, have been devised. 333 Gastrointestinal INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY Endoscopy Interventional radiology techniques offer benefits in selected set- tings.
