With the aging of the population and the epidemic spread of obesity, the frequency of older individuals with obesity is steadily growing. To date, no data evaluating the use of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) in the elderly have been published. In this case series, we evaluate the short- and medium-term outcomes of ESG in patients with obesity aged 65 years and older.

Abstract
With the aging of the population and the epidemic spread of obesity, the frequency of older individuals with obesity is steadily growing. To date, no data evaluating the use of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) in the elderly have been published. In this case series, we evaluate the short- and medium-term outcomes of ESG in patients with obesity aged 65 years and older.
