Banded versus nonbanded laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: 5-year outcomes
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most commonly performed bariatric/metabolic operation. However, inadequate long-term weight loss remains a problem in some cases, possibly from gastric-sleeve dilation. Adding a reinforcing ring around the proximal gastric sleeve has been proposed, but relevant data are scant. We performed the largest, longest-term study yet of banded SG (BSG) compared to nonbanded SG.
