BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic adjustable silicone gastric banding (LASGB) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure indicated for the treatment of patients with morbid obesity.
METHODS
From January 1996, eight patients successfully underwent the video-laparoscopic procedure.
RESULTS
Preoperative body mass index was 44.4 +/- 4.7 (range 37.9-53.3). Mean operative time was 255 +/- 73 minutes (range 150-360). Mean hospital stay was 3 +/- 1 days. Intraoperative complications were absent.
CONCLUSION
Preliminary results have been satisfactory, and encourage us to continue with LASGB.
