Dose response for argon plasma coagulation in the treatment of weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: Is a high dose really necessary?

Good Clinical Practices on Argon Plasma Coagulation Treatment for Weight Regain Associated with Dilated Gastrojejunostomy Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: a Brazilian-Modified Delphi Consensus

“…In a retrospective cohort study, Jirapinyo et al reported greater weight loss in the high dose group (forced; power 70–80 W; flow = 0.8 L/min) than the low dose one (pulsed; effect 2; power 45–55 W; flow = 0.8 L/min). However, the incidence of strictures was also significantly higher after high-dose procedures [ 30 , 35 ]. That setup concerns the ERBE equipment, which is a potent electrosurgical unit.…”
