ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study performed a meta-analysis to compare the safety and efficacy of argon plasma coagulation (APC) concerning suture (SUT) and surgery (SUR).METHODS:
The One-Way tests were applied, with p <0.05 significant. The value of R2 was analyzed (heterogeneity), and the risk of bias of articles was evaluated.RESULTS:
A total of 34 studies were found, eight about APC, twenty about SUT, and six about SUR. For the percentage of Weight Loss Regained (%WLR), the means for APC, SUT, and SUR were 19.39 ± 10.94, 26.06 ± 16.71, and 17.05 ± 9.85, and for success rate (%SR), the means were 89.75 ± 16.75, 86.80 ± 11.44, and 76.00 ± 21.57, respectively with p >0.05, with R2 ≥ 50%.CONCLUSION:
The APC proved to be efficient and safe like the other techniques.Key words
