Abstract

Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has been developed with the aims of further reducing the invasiveness of traditional laparoscopy. The technique of lap-band placement from a single intraumbilical incision is described. Three patients underwent a single-incision laparoscopic surgery gastric banding (SILS-GB) for morbid obesity from May to September 2008. All interventions were uneventful and patients were discharged on first postoperative day, after an upper gastrointestinal series. SILS-GB is virtually scarless intervention and may be performed as a day-surgery procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity.
