ENDOSCOPIC BAND LIGATION FOR WEIGHT REGAIN AND SEVERE REFLUX AFTER SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Endoscopic band ligation is a minimally invasive procedure explored as a solution for patients experiencing weight regain and severe reflux after sleeve gastrectomy, who are hesitant about revisional surgery. This method involves placing bands in the gastrointestinal tract to induce restriction and early satiety. In a case study of a 35-year-old woman, 16 bands were successfully placed across the esophagus and stomach. The procedure was completed in 25 minutes with no immediate complications. The patient lost 15 kilograms, decreased her BMI to 34, and experienced complete reflux resolution. This approach shows promise, suggesting further research is warranted.
