Objective:
To define specific features of follow-up in pregnant women with gastric banding in order to evaluate obstetrical outcomes and gastric banding related complications.
Materials And Methods:
A systematic review of observational and case-control studies, as well as case reports to discuss pregnant women follow-up.
Results:
Seven articles were retained. Doctors manage differently gastric banding. With gastric banding, there is a better maternal weight gain control and less hypertension and diabetic complications. We found four gastric banding related complications.
Discussion And Conclusion:
Gastric banding is well tolerated during pregnancy and can be safely recommended to obese women of childbearing age.
