Search Strategy and Information Sources
The strategy was carried out through the search system in PubMed,
MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web Of Science, ScienceDirect Journals, Scopus, OneFile
(Gale), OVID, EBSCO, LILACS/ Bireme, and gray literature, following the
steps of the search for MeSH Terms Argon plasma coagulation; Endoscopic
suturing; Surgery; Weight regain; Bariatric surgery. Also, a combination
of the keywords with the Booleans “OR”, AND and the operator “NOT”
was used to target scientific articles of interest. The title and
abstracts were examined under all conditions. The research structure
