Feasibility of gastric electrical stimulation by percutaneous endoscopic transgastric electrodes.
Gastrointest Endosc. 2008; (4): 754-9

Both these indications have involved surgical placement of gastric electrodes, which adds to the complexity and cost of the procedure. Endoscopic placement is therefore an attractive alternative approach for this therapy.
