Banded sleeve gastrectomy using the GaBP ring--surgical technique

Wojciech Konrad Karcz et al. Obes Facts. 2011.

Abstract

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been described as the first step of a two-step laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) in extremely obese patients. It has also been used as an independent bariatric procedure. Recently a banded sleeve gastrectomy using human dermis was published. Gastric sleeve dilatation is one of the unfavorable postoperative courses that may limit weight loss. Our technique of a banded sleeve gastrectomy using the GaBP Ring Autolock(TM) System to calibrate the sleeve and prevent distal sleeve dilatation is described in this article.

3D volume rendering image in right-anterior-cranial-oblique projection of a 50-year-old female case. Different color masks are employed to allow separate depiction of the stomach (orange), esophagus (green), and intestine (cyan). A semitranslucent mask of the ribcage and spine is provided for better anatomical orientation. The GaBP Ring™ (white) was placed around the gastric sleeve approximately 6 cm distal from the His angle.
