Surg Endosc 2006; 20:1548-1550. •• As morbid obesity continues to be a significant health concern, gastric bypass will continue to be performed and the altered anatomy prevents conventional endoscopic diagnostics from being performed. This study reported the authors' experience with a technique that allows for endoscopic techniques to be performed in this patient population.
