Popis: The increasingly higher incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes witnessed in today�s society led to a continuous research for innovative medical and surgical solutions to this pathology. Our aim is to evaluate the metabolic effects of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastric bypass (EUGB) in an experimental pig model. Eight female pigs were equally distributed into two groups: the endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy group and a control group. Body weight and blood glucose concentration were assessed before the procedure and weekly in the postoperative setting for 6 months.
