Abstract
Given the shared pathophysiology of obesity and associated comorbid conditions, the number of individuals with concomitant type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has also increased. Obesity and T2DM have grown to epidemic proportions among industrialized countries with a prevalence that has more than doubled in the last 25 years. Worldwide, there are around 380 million people living with T2DM with an estimated 3.8 million deaths that occur annually due to diabetes or poor glucose control. In this setting, the duodenum has been recognized more and more as a metabolic signaling center with role in the regulation of insulin resistance. Recent advances in endoluminal technology using endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMTs) are promising. Thus, the application of new EBMT technologies has found a role in the concomitant treatment of obesity and T2DM. The duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR) procedure involves hydrothermal ablation of the duodenal mucosa and mucosal healing in effort to improve obesity as well as glucose homeostasis.
