The small bowel has a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis. Small bowel endoscopic bariatric metabolic treatments (EBMTs) include several devices aimed at providing minimally invasive approaches for the management of metabolic disorders. The aim of this review is to provide an updated and exhaustive overview of the EBMTs targeting the small bowel developed to date, including the duodenal mucosa resurfacing, the duodenal-jejunal bypass liners, gastro-jejunal bypass sleeve, and the incisioneless magnetic anastomosis system, as well as to mention the future perspectives in the field.
