Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is a new minimally invasive surgical treatment for weight loss that requires no stomach stapling or intestinal re-routing. The LAP-BAND® is adjusted in the physician’s office for the needs of each patient. This procedure enables patients to recover more quickly with less pain and less risk of wound complications than traditional weight loss surgery. Laparoscopic Adjustable Banding Procedure Ashley H. Vernon, MD, Associate Surgeon at BWH, performed the procedure, assisted by David B. Lautz, MD, Director of Bariatric Surgery. Malcolm K. Robinson, MD, Director of the BWH Program for Weight Management, narrated the webcast, which included an overview of pre- and post-surgical considerations, patient candidacy, and risks and benefits of laparoscopic adjustable banding.
