Abstract

Laparoscopic approaches to surgery for morbid obesity offer to reduce the morbidity associated with conventional weight reduction surgery. This paper describes a hand-assisted laparoscopic technique for vertical banded gastroplasty, a method which shortens and simplifies the laparoscopic approach to this established open surgical procedure.
