Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy: Single-Centre Experience With A 4-Year Follow-Up
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy for Obesity, Morbid and Surgery. Completed, enrolled 209 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is now the most common bariatric procedure to treat morbidly obese patients. The main concern of LSG lies in the long-term weight regain which is reported to happen in up to 75.6% of patients after 6 years. The Investigators report the overall experience with Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy (LBSG) using the Minimizer over a six-year period.

Interventions
The investigators performed Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy adding a MiniMizer Ring (Bariatric Solutions), a radiopaque silicone ring with four closing positions. The ring has a blue colour and for this reason it can easily be found back in revision surgery. The pulling lid is left in place with all closing positions in order to be adjusted postoperatively without having to place a new ring. The ring is slightly elastic and the fixation loops provide an anchorpoint to fix the ring in place which prevents it from slipping
