Endoscopic Botulinum Therapy for Obesity: Focus on the Antrum and Fundus
Gastric botulinum therapy using a novel full-stomach injection method focusing on the antrum and fundus was found to be both safe and effective in a Japanese obese population. This technique may offer a promising, minimally invasive option for obesity management. Further multicenter and long-term studies are warranted to validate and standardize this approach.
