Standardized approach established for Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty

A global expert consensus defined standardized practices for Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) utilizing a modified Delphi method. Six experts, after three survey rounds, achieved 100% agreement on six cognitive skill statements and high consensus on 21 technical skill statements. Key procedural elements emphasized were starting at the incisura, using at least six sutures, and avoiding the fundus. This consensus creates important guidelines for ensuring the safe and effective delivery of ESG procedures.
