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 ...

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.

Critical appraisal of horizontal gastroplasty
The American Journal of Surgery, 1987We evaluated 77 consecutive patients who had undergone horizontal gastroplasty over a 2 year period. Mean follow-up was 26 months (88 percent of patients) and ranged from 15 to 45 months. There were no operative deaths. Early complications were common.

Videolaparoscopic Vertical Banded Gastroplasty
Obesity Surgery, 1995BACKGROUND: In June 1993, the authors started performing the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) via laparoscopy. METHODS: Since June 1993, 25 patients have undergone laparoscopic VBG. RESULTS: Weight loss did not differ from the traditional open VBG. CONCLUSIONS: The laparoscopic procedure, which can be performed simply, permits minimal trauma compared

Gastroplasty Combined with Partial Fundoplication
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1980Gastroplasty, as proposed by Collis, combined with fundoplication of varying degree, has been increasingly used during recent years for management of hiatal hernia complicated by shortened oesophagus and oesophageal stricture. A modification of this procedure using 180 degree fundoplication and the transthoracic-transdiaphragmatic approach is described.
