Sleeve gastrectomy as revisional procedure for failed gastric banding or gastroplasty

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a revisional option after gastric band failure

“…In addition, our study group is small, but we found only one other study with a similar size group (52 patients after LAGB) [15]. A larger, prospective comparison with other revisional options is needed.…”

“…The bariatric procedure of choice for these patients is still under debate. The options vary, ranging from rebanding (usually in the case of technical band failure), through conversion to the more complex options, such as RYGBP, BPD, BPD-DS, and recently, LSG [13,15,[23][24][25].…”

“…Its major advantage is a lower morbidity-mortality rate than RYGBP, BPD, or BPD-DS [7][8][9][10][11]. It also has been reported as a revisional option for patients with failed bariatric surgeries, such as vertical banded gastroplasty, silastic ring vertical gastroplasty, LAGB, and previous LSG [12][13][14][15][16].…”

Esophageal perforation during laparoscopic adjustable gastric band: conversion to open sleeve gastrectomy and endoscopic stent placement

“…Most bariatric surgeons do not consider converting a failed restrictive procedure such as LAGB to another restrictive procedure such as LSG to be a good strategy (22). On the other hand, Foletto et al state at revisional LSG can be considered a good second-line surgical procedure for complicated LAGB (23). Furthermore, the possibility of postponing the bariatric procedure has been extensively discussed in the literature.…”

Management options for symptomatic stenosis after laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy in the morbidly obese

“…Short-and mid-term outcomes appear promising, with some even approaching those seen with LRYGBP. Increasingly, the sleeve also is used as a revisional procedure for patients who have failed weight loss after LAGB or vertical band gastroplasty (VBG) [30,31].…”
