Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is increasingly performed in patients with morbid obesity. Suturing of the access-port in LAGB can be difficult and time consuming but is felt necessary by many surgeons to prevent migration and facilitate band adjustments.
Methods: Between 2003 and 2006, 226 patients underwent LAGB with the MIDband.
