Reduced Port Technique for Bariatric Surgery Procedures: Feasibility, Technique and Outcome

“…The technique is particularly attractive for the placement of an adjustable gastric band, which requires an incision large enough to insert the band and the port, and for the sleeve gastrectomy to allow retrieval of the gastric specimen. [5][6][7][8][9][10] To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first clinical trials that assessed the feasibility of three port technique in laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass and various revisional bariatric surgeries (56 underwent mini-gastric bypass, 3 underwent R/Y gastric bypass, 2 underwent SASI, 11 patients post VBG revision to gastric bypass, 3 patients post sleeve gastrectomy revision to mini-gastric bypass, 2 patients post gastric band revision to mini-gastric bypass and 1 patient post plication revision to R/Y gastric bypass).…”

“…Vincenzo Consalvo et al 11 conducted a study comparing perioperative outcomes of RPLSG versus conventional multi-port LSG. This study found a significant difference in the mean operative time between the two groups.…”

Micro-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using reduced size ports and instruments: technical points

“…Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most popular bariatric procedure worldwide [1] because of weight loss maintenance and acceptable morbidity [2,3]. Reduced port 5 SG (i.e three trocars) has emerged has a new standard providing comparable safety and efficacy [4,5] as compared to the five port technique. However liver retraction and incisional hernia remain unresolved issues [6].…”
