Does the food go on the inside of the endobarrier device with the digestive enzymes on the outside of the device? Does the endobarrier device modify metabolic pathways and prevent the mixing of food and digestive enzymes? Does the EndoBarrier stenting device migrate without safe and secure proximal fixation with T fasteners?

Has a new dimension been added to minimally invasive surgery that eliminates complications associated with traditional surgery such as postoperative abdominal wall pain, wound infections, hernias, adhesions, and impaired immune function? Are second generation devices currently being evaluated and have any of the prototypes been proven to be more feasible for clinical application?
