pubmed:abstractText |
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has become an accepted procedure for weight loss surgery, particularly due to fewer early complications and decreased mortality in comparison to other bariatric procedures. Many centers use postoperative upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopy (UGI) to ensure stomal patency and gastric integrity at the banding site. However, UGI increases cost and may increase length of stay due to availability. The purpose of this study is to determine whether routine UGI after LAGB is necessary for detection of early complications.
