Research Into Stomach Gastroplasty
In this bariatric procedure, surgeons separate the stomach into two parts
- an upper small stomach pouch and a lower (distal) stomach section.
This division is performed using special staples. A small gap (stoma)
in the staple-line is left to permit digested food in the pouch to pass
through to the distal stomach. Because the upper stomach pouch is so small
(egg-size, compared to melon-size before the gastroplasty), the patient
feels full very quickly and therefore calorie-intake is drastically reduced.
The latest gastroplasty procedure is called Vertical
Banded Gastroplasty. This technique overcomes the problems of earlier
gastroplasty methods, such as "stretching" of the stoma. It
achieves this by using a vertical row of staples across a less stretchy
part of the stomach and uses a gastric band as a "collar" to
maintain the stoma. Here are some research articles on issues surrounding
vertical banded gastroplasty.
