Obesity Surgery Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Background: The incision length has significant influence on the postoperative course after silastic ring vertical gastroplasty (SRVG). Methods: A technique is described in which SRVG can be performed through a minilaparotomy incision. Results: 110 patients were operated with this technique during 1996. No remarkable intraoperative or postoperative complications were encountered. Postoperative weight loss has been satisfactory. Conclusions: Performance of SRVG through a minilaparotomy is feasible. The technique is recommended for surgeons familiar with the operation through the formal incision.
