T.12.8 gender impact to endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty outcomes

Aims Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is established as effective and mini-invasive procedure for obesity. Patients undergoing bariatric procedures in 80% of the cases are females. It is known that gender plays a role in several metabolic networks related to obesity; however no studies have investigated the gender impact on obesity after ESG. The aim is to evaluate the gender impact on long-term weight loss outcomes after ESG in patients treated in our bariatric unit.
