Abstract
BACKGROUND: Adolescent obesity has undesirable short- and long-term effects. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding has been considered a procedure of choice for adolescent morbid obesity. We retrospectively evaluated our single-team banding experience in the adolescent population. METHODS: We reviewed the medical and clinic records and conducted telephone questionnaire interviews, to evaluate the results of banding using the Swedish adjustable gastric band (SAGB) in the 60 adolescents at our institution who had been followed > or =3 years. RESULTS: An average of 39.5 months of follow-up has been conducted in the patients who have been followed > or =3 years. Mean age at the time of the operation was 16 years (9 to 18). 60% reported a family history of obesity. Associated co-morbidities included hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea and asthma. Mean preoperative BMI was 43 (35-61) kg/m(2). Mean postoperative BMI after 39.5 months follow-up was 30 (20-39) kg/m(2). No co-morbidities have existed after the operation. 6 patients (10%) underwent band repositioning and 2 patients underwent band removal, due to slippage; 7 of the 8 slippages occurred with an earlier perigastric technique which transgressed lesser sac. There was no mortality. Average postoperative hospital stay was 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Gastric banding in adolescents is a safe, satisfactory and reversible weight reduction procedure.
