Gastric Bezoars after Adjustable Gastric Banding
Obesity Surgery, 2004 Gastric bezoars may develop in the proximal pouch after gastric restriction.Of 299 patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), 4 developed gastric bezoars at different intervals after surgery (24 days, 8 months, 18 months, and 6 years).Symptoms of high dysphagia and vomiting occurred in all 4 patients.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
World Journal of Surgery, 1998AbstractWe introduced open adjustable silicone gastric banding (ASGB) for treatment of morbid obesity in our institution in 1991. It was done in a prospective study comparing ASGB with vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) with regard to weight loss. After 200 cases of open ASGB and 210 VBG procedures and the encouraging weight loss results, we started ...

Obesity Surgery, 1991
Gastric banding is an exceptionally safe operation for the surgical control of morbid obesity. Most failures are due to a stoma that is too large or too small. To obviate the 20% failure rate (removal of band or readjustment with major surgery), a band which is adjustable from the subcutaneous tissues is described.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
Surgical Innovation, 2002The introduction of laparoscopic adjustable silicone gastric banding (LASGB) has recently revolutionized gastric restrictive procedures in the treatment of morbid obesity. We analysed the short and long term results of this minimally invasive bariatric procedure. A total of 652 patients with a body mass of (median) 45 kg/m(2) were treated.

Leakage of Adjustable Gastric Bands
Obesity Surgery, 1999Surgery for morbid obesity has increased since the introduction of the adjustable gastric bands. Their advantage is the adjustability of the band, which can be inflated or deflated percutaneously according to weight loss without altering the anatomy of the stomach.

A Simple Band for Gastric Banding
Obesity Surgery, 1993The author has noted that flexible gastric bands have occasionally stenosed the gastric stoma or allowed it to dilate. A band was developed using a soft outer silicone rubber tube over a holding mechanism made out of a nylon cable tie passed within the silicone tube. This simple, easily applied band is rigid, resisting scar contracture and dilatation.

One of the treatments for pathological obesity is adjustable gastric banding. An adjustable gastric band is applied to the stomach via laparoscopy ( laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding – LAGB). This is one of the so-called restrictive surgical methods for treating obesity and, in comparison with other techniques of bariatric surgery, is the least ...

Laparoscopic Removal of Gastric Band after Open Banded Gastric Bypass
Obesity Surgery, 2005Open banded gastric bypass has been the choice of some bariatric surgeons. This procedure includes a band (of various materials) around the gastric pouch. While there are advantages to this band, erosion and/or displacement of the band may occur. We describe a case of a symptomatic displaced band which was treated by laparoscopic removal.

Gastric Bezoar Complicating Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding with Band Slippage
Obesity Surgery, 2006Gastric bezoars may develop in the proximal pouch after gastric restriction, eg. by laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). To date, only two centers have reported this rare complication. We report an additional case with band slippage, to emphasize that bezoars should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with new ...
