Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the impact of the absence of band fixation on the reoperation rate and to identify other risk factors for long-term complications.
Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding has been demonstrated to permit important weight loss and comorbidity improvement, but some bands will have to be removed mainly for failure or in case of planned 2-step surgery. Then, the absence of a gastro-gastric suture (GGS) would allow easier band removal.
The biopsy of the prostate is a common medical act, which is little invasive and can easily be practiced in external care.

This method allows, by cleavages, to obtain a preperitoneal space where can be individualised anatomical structures of the inguinofemoral area: pubis, pectineal ligament of Cooper, epigastric vessels. After squelettisation of the elements of the cord by release of the hernial bag, installation of a not fixed prosthesis largely covers the hernial rings.
