Summary

Interventional studies devoted to adolescents are relatively rare in the world. This has several reasons. Treatment and research on obesity are centered on advanced forms of obesity in adults, bearing in mind that social and health problems make these patients cope with their condition. Studies on children tend to focus on epidemiology. On the other hand, effective long-term effective treatment is not just for young adults and adolescents. However, appropriate long-term weight reduction methods could help with chronic obesity at the onset of the disease. Here, the ideal scheme at the outset of the disease is to use less invasive endoscopic methods and then use invasive surgical methods at a later age.

The benefit of this study will certainly be to find out the reality of the use of this endoscopic method in young obese individuals, that is, population groups where, according to the WHO and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), there has been a rapid increase in the incidence of obesity especially during the last 20 years.
