Gastroplasty procedures, particularly vertical banded gastroplasty
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 1999Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), the most frequently performed restrictive procedure to control severe obesity, was developed by Mason in 1982. The procedure evolved from experiential trials of earlier concepts and the timely availability of instrumentation to allow stapled vertical partition of the stomach.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
2021Restriction of gastric volume is a cornerstone of most bariatric and metabolic surgical procedures, and endoscopic bariatric therapies have been designed to mimic these surgical interventions. First performed in 2008 as part of a trial at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic, the concept of endoscopic sutured gastroplasty eventually ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2001
VBG and vertical Silastic ring gastroplasty are simple gastric restriction procedures that have defined technical standards. Two recent improvements in the operation have been the development of the six-row endolinear cutting-stapling instrument that divides the vertical partition without an increase in GI leakage and the application of minimally ...

Standardized gastroplasty orifice
The American Journal of Surgery, 1981Consistent weight reduction by gastroplasty requires precise construction of an appropriately sized stoma that will not dilate. The technique described constructs such a stoma around a 32 French Hurst dilator with an external ring of Silastic tubing over polypropylene suture.

Obesity Surgery, 1995
BACKGROUND: Long-term changes of gastric mucosa following surgery for morbid obesity have never been studied, to the best of our knowledge. As 31 patients in our series presented with various gastrointestinal complaints following surgery, we used this opportunity to study mucosal changes.

Reflux Control Following Gastroplasty
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1977A Belsey gastroplasty was performed on 135 patients, 132 of whom were available for follow-up. Despite a low incidence (1.5%) of anatomical recurrence, the operation failed to control reflux effectively, and the incidence of continued reflux is 44.6%. Because of this failure to control reflux, a Nissen fundoplication has been added to the gastroplasty ...

Gastroplasty in Morbid Obesity
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1979Gastroplasty is effective only when a small fundic reservoir is formed with a nonexpanding 12-mm channel. Support of the channel with a seromuscular suture appears to achieve this goal. Candidates for gastroplasty should be carefully screened before surgery and given support and nutritional education after surgery.

UNCUT COLLIS-NISSEN GASTROPLASTY
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995Surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux because of an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter and obstructive symptoms owing to a partial or incomplete intrathoracic stomach has evolved tremendously over the past several decades. Currently, there are several different techniques to improve the abnormalities caused by these defects, of which the ...

Laparoscopic vertical banded gastroplasty
Current Surgery, 2003The technique for laparoscopic vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) arose from the open procedure in 1993, as minimally invasive surgical approaches were applied to virtually all commonly performed operations (1,2). In 1992 approximately 85% of bariatric surgeons utilized an open VBG as ddescribed by Mason at the University of Iowa, and the initial ...

Gastric Restrictive Procedures: Gastroplasty
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1987Gastroplasty for the treatment of morbid obesity has developed over the last 20 years from inconsistent suture technique operations to precisely constructed procedures. To date, the best results are achieved with the most recently developed techniques, vertical (mesh) banded gastroplasty, and silicone elastomer ring vertical gastroplasty.
