In case of having the device in place, the surgeon must be aware to remove intraoperatively or endoscopically, the device. Surgeons should consider endoscopic removal of the AspireAssist System® before conversion to another procedure (SG or GBP) at least 6 months of the removal. Removal of the AspireAssist System® should be performed endoscopically but direct conversion to another bariatric procedure can be considered, either to SG or GBP depending on the technical intraoperative aspects.
