The new 2-incision laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) technique is feasible but increases operating time and blood loss. Further studies are needed to evaluate its long-term efficacy and benefits compared to the standard method.

Area of Science:

  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Advancements in minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques offer potential benefits.
  • Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a bariatric procedure.
  • Evaluating novel surgical approaches is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel 2-incision technique for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).
  • To compare the outcomes of the 2-incision LAGB with the traditional 5-incision technique.
  • To assess the feasibility and initial results of the 2-incision approach.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-incision technique for LAGB was developed, utilizing a 2.5 cm incision for two trocars and a 0.5 cm incision for the videoscope.

  • The band reservoir was placed in a subcutaneous pocket.
  • Data from 25 consecutive 2-incision LAGB procedures were compared to 19 consecutive standard 5-incision LAGB procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • The 2-incision LAGB technique resulted in a mean estimated blood loss of 54 mL compared to 17 mL for the standard technique (P = .040).
    • The mean operating time for the 2-incision LAGB was 119 minutes, versus 103 minutes for the standard technique (P = .047).
    • No mortality or procedure-related complications were observed in either group.

    Conclusions:

    • The 2-incision LAGB technique is feasible but associated with increased operating time and blood loss.
    • Standardization of the technique and use of advanced instruments may improve outcomes.
    • Further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are required to validate the efficacy and benefits of the 2-incision technique.
