Randomized Prospective Trial: Single Port Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Conventional Five Port Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

Overview

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy has been shown to significantly reduce weight and has been approved as a treatment of morbid obesity. The standard laparoscopic operation requires five small incisions for the introduction of instruments and the band into the patient's abdomen. The investigators have developed a technique for performing this operation through a single incision at the belly button. This study compares this method to the conventional 5-incision approach.
