Detailed explanation-1: -A Proven Weight-Loss Procedure Without Surgery or Scars Endoscopic gastric bypass revision is an outpatient weight loss procedure that doesn’t require open surgery, incisions or scarring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Revision surgery for this condition does not meet the definition of medical necessity. NOTE: CPT code 43847 may be used to report biliopancreatic bypass (Scopinaro procedure) OR long-limb gastric bypass (> 150 cm).
Detailed explanation-3: -How is stenosis after gastric bypass surgery treated? During an upper endoscopy, your healthcare provider will inflate a special balloon at the anastomosis. The opening will be stretched back to its original size, if possible. This is called endoscopic dilation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wolter et al[22] recommends performing routine endoscopy before bariatric surgery to predict possible malignant lesions. Mihmanli et al[25] in their series of 157 cases, reported that one case changed the operation type as a result of preoperative endoscopic examination.
