Abstract

BACKGROUND: Aim of the study is to present long-term results of a prospective randomized single-institution clinical trial comparing laparoscopic adjustable silicone gastric banding (LASGB) with laparoscopic vertical banded gastroplasty (LVBG) in morbid obesity. METHODS: A total of 100 morbidly obese patients (body mass index 40 to 50 kg/m2) were randomized to LASGB (n=49) or LVBG (n=51) and followed up for a minimum of 7 years. RESULTS: Mean operative time was 65.4 min in LASGBs and 94.2 min in LVBGs (p
