Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy Improves Weight Loss Compared to Nonbanded Sleeve: Midterm Results from a Prospective Randomized Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is nowadays a growing concern. Sleeve dilatation and loss of food restriction is considered the main mechanism. The placement of a silicon ring around the gastric tube seems to give benefits in the short term. We report the results of a randomized study comparing LSG and laparoscopic banded sleeve gastrectomy (LBSG) over a 4-year follow-up.

Objectives

To evaluate the efficacy of banded sleeve gastrectomy compared to standard sleeve in the midterm.

Methods

Between 01/2014 and 01/2015, we randomly assigned 50 patients to receive one of the two procedures. Patients' management was exactly the same, apart from the band placement. We analyzed differences in weight loss, operative time, complication rate,
