Randomized Prospective Trial: Single Port Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Conventional Five Port Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obesity, Nutrition Disorders, Body Weight

In brief

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy has been shown to significantly reduce weight and has been approved as a treatment of morbid obesity. The standard laparoscopic operation requires five small incisions for the introduction of instruments and the band into the patient's abdomen. The investigators have developed a technique for performing this operation through a single incision at the belly button. This study compares this method to the conventional 5-incision approach.
