Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy: Single-Centre Experience With A 4-Year Follow-Up

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.

Detailed Description

Introduction. 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.

Methods. The investigators performed a retrospective review of data from a prospectively collected database. All patients submitted to primary LBSG were examined. Patients were submitted to LBSG between February 2014 and January 2020. Collected data included demographic factors, pre-operative weight, pre-operative BMI, operative time, surgical complications, and clinical outcomes in terms of short and mid-term weight loss.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
209 patients were submitted to primary LBSG
All patients submitted to primary Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy were examined. Collected data included demographic factors, pre-operative weight, pre-operative BMI, operative time, surgical complications, and clinical outcomes in terms of short and mid-term weight loss.
Procedure: Laparoscopic Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy
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
