Does the development of innovative NOTES devices for improving the function of the lower esophageal sphincter LES continue? What role will Polymethylmethacrylate PMMA beads play in the thicken of the tissue and the strengthen of the LES when the microbeads are implanted in local tissue adjacent to the LES? Will the promising work in Endoscopic […]

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?
