Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) was first introduced in the early 1990s as a potentially safe, controllable, and reversible method for achieving significant weight loss in the severely obese. It is timely to review the existing data on this procedure derived from European, Australian, and American studies and compare and contrast their results. Special emphasis is placed on clinical outcomes and reported complications of LAGB. In general, international studies support use of the LAGB procedure,while American studies are generally better designed but more equivocal in their results.
腹腔镜可调节胃束带术（LAGB）于20世纪90年代初首次引入，作为一种潜在安全、可控且可逆的方法，用于让严重肥胖者实现显著减重。及时回顾来自欧洲、澳大利亚和美国研究的关于该手术的现有数据，并比较和对比其结果。特别强调腹腔镜可调节胃束带术的临床结果和报告的并发症。总体而言，国际研究支持使用腹腔镜可调节胃束带术，而美国的研究通常设计得更好，但结果更具不确定性。
