Laparoscopic Clip-Gastroplasty With The Use Of Bariclip (B-Clamp)

September 22, 2022 updated by: Paolo Gentileschi, University of Rome Tor Vergata
Sleeve gastrectomy, the most commonly performed bariatric surgery procedure, carries limitations both short-term including postoperative complications such as hemorrhage and gastric fistula and long-term such as weight regain and gastro-esophageal reflux. A new procedure has been proposed to overcome many of these limitations: laparoscopic vertical clip gastroplasty (LVCG) with Bariclip. Primary outcome were major postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included weight loss, incidence of de-novo GERD and comorbidity resolution.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Methods. The investigators performed a review of data from a prospectively collected database. All patients submitted to primary LVCG were examined. Patients were submitted to LVCG Between July 2021 and March 2022. 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.
