Laparoscopic gastric banding

Abstract: LGB gives satisfactory results in terms of weight loss in about two-thirds of the patients. Even beyond the learning curve, the long-term morbidity is not negligible, but is acceptable compared to other procedures such as vertical banded gastroplasty. Conversion to gastric bypass is possible when complications occur and can be performed when the band is removed in most cases.

In a randomized trial comparing these 2 devices, we showed the midterm complication rates to be similar.…”

There is no so much centers in the world to begin project of bariatric surgery with biliopancreatic diversion like it was in UCC Tuzla, according to the fact that mostly applied operation in primary phase of metabolic surgery are LAPGB ( 14 , 15 ).

[27] It is important to notice, that according to studies, the mortality for RYGBP is approximately 0.2%, higher than SG and AGB.…”
