Naturally Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy Vs Non-Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy, Two Years Follow up, Controlled Clinical Trial

1

Obesity affects 1.9 billion adults globally, with bariatric surgery being the most effective long-term treatment for severe obesity.
2

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is effective but has long-term complications, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and weight regain.
3

Banded LSG (BLSG) shows reduced pouch dilatation and weight regain compared to non-banded LSG (NBLSG), though with a 4%-5% complication rate.
4

This study evaluates the efficacy of using a natural flap for banding during LSG, aiming to prevent gastric pouch dilatation over two years.
5

The primary outcomes include weight loss percentage and gastric volume at two years, with secondary outcomes assessing complications and food tolerance.
