Summary
This study presents a modified single-incision laparoscopic technique for adjustable gastric band (AGB) placement, offering improved cosmetic outcomes. The novel approach is feasible for patients with obesity and comorbidities.
Area of Science:
- Bariatric Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- This video demonstrates a modified single-incision laparoscopic approach for adjustable gastric band (AGB) placement.
- The procedure is detailed for a 28-year-old female patient with a BMI of 48.75 and multiple comorbidities.
Observation:
- A modified single-incision technique was employed, utilizing a 12-mm optical trocar and two 5-mm trocars.
- Specific steps included liver retraction, fundus stay suture externalization, phrenogastric dissection, and retrogastric tunnel development.
- Anterior gastric plication and anti-slippage sutures were utilized, with externalization of the band tubing and port implantation through a single incision.
Findings:
- The described modified single-incision laparoscopic adjustable gastric band placement was successfully performed.
- The patient experienced a positive postoperative recovery without any complications.
Implications:
- This modified single-incision approach for laparoscopic gastric band placement is feasible.
- The technique offers potential for improved cosmesis in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
