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.
