Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The success of vertical gastroplasty may be jeopardized by gastric leakage or ulceration due to failure of the technique. Reports of band erosion and staple-line leakage have led us to seek technical improvements to reduce technical failures. We describe a modification to the technique of band placement and a manoeuvre to aid the placement of staples when the TA90B staple gun is used.
