Project Description
The purpose of this illustration is to depict the procedure known as transoral outlet reduction (TORe).
During an initial gastric bypass procedure, a small portion of the stomach is stapled off and reattached to the small intestine. Over time, this opening created between the stomach and the small intestine becomes dilated, causing loss of satiety and subsequent weight regain. The TORe procedure endoscopically revises this outlet by reducing the diameter of the opening, ultimately slowing the progression of weight regain.
