Area of Science:

  • Bariatric surgery
  • Gastrointestinal surgery
  • Obesity treatment

Background:

  • Morbid obesity presents significant health challenges.
  • Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) is a bariatric procedure.
  • Modifications to VBG aim to improve safety and efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified vertical banded gastroplasty technique.
  • To evaluate the outcomes and complications of this modified procedure in morbidly obese patients.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Mason's vertical banded gastroplasty was performed on 62 patients.
  • The modification involved vertical gastric wall division with a linear cutter and a serosal patch.
  • Surgical outcomes, complications, weight loss, and BMI changes were recorded.

Main Results:

  • No vertical suture line breakdown occurred.
  • One major complication (posterior esophageal injury) and two subcutaneous wound infections were reported.
  • Average weight loss was 40 kg (61.5% excess weight) at 1 year.
  • Average BMI decreased from 47 to 32.45 at 1 year.

Conclusions:

  • The modified VBG technique is safe and effective for morbid obesity.
  • The surgical modification resulted in substantial weight loss and BMI reduction.
  • The procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile with manageable complications.
