Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band revisional surgery: a single surgeon series

Abstract

Continued EWL is achieved with repositioning or replacement of a LAGB. However, a significant and increasing rate of re-operation over time exists.

Psychosocial presentation of female bariatric surgery patients after multiple revisional surgeries: A qualitative study

The type of revisional procedure varies depending on the primary procedure and revisional surgery is significantly more challenging than the initial procedure (Hii et al, 2012).…”
