Gross overweight in 15 patients was treated by a new method called gastric banding. The operative procedure is described. The technique is simpler than other procedures such as gastric bypass and gastroplasty. Gastric banding involves no opening of the gastrointestinal tract, which helps to minimize operative risk and complication rate. Operation resulted in an average weight loss of 36.5 kg (29.5 per cent) over six months, and is considered highly effective. Each patient was submitted, postoperatively, to a thorough check-up which included clinical examination, X-ray, gastroscopy and an extensive battery of laboratory tests. The fact that the artificial stoma and the gastric mucosa of upper and lower compartments can be inspected on gastroscopy is an added advantage. The series seems to indicate that gastric banding is a promising surgical method of treating extreme overweight.
15例严重超重患者采用一种名为胃束带术的新方法进行治疗。文中描述了手术过程。该技术比胃旁路术和胃成形术等其他手术更简单。胃束带术无需打开胃肠道，这有助于将手术风险和并发症发生率降至最低。手术导致患者在六个月内平均体重减轻36.5千克（29.5%），被认为非常有效。每位患者术后都接受了全面检查，包括临床检查、X光检查、胃镜检查以及一系列广泛的实验室检测。胃镜检查时能够检查人造造口以及上下腔室的胃黏膜，这是一个额外的优势。该系列病例似乎表明胃束带术是一种治疗极度超重的有前景的手术方法。
