Abstract
Laparoscopic gastric band surgery is a popular choice amongst obese patients; the challenges this patient group present to the surgeon include central adiposity and hepatomegaly. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) adds to those challenges with difficulty in maneuverability of instruments in a limited space. Recent evidence suggests that SILS is a suitable technique for gastric band insertions with the potential of causing less pain and resulting in better cosmetic appearance than conventional multiport surgery. In this chapter, we describe a successful technique to accommodate all patients, consider the limitations for certain patient groups, and address the surgical challenges with practical tips to successfully perform single incision gastric band insertion.
