Abstract
- More attention has been paid to bariatric surgery due to an increase in the obese population in Korea. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is the most popular procedure for weight-loss but the complication rate may increase with time. Revision surgery is needed if there are complications or the weight is regained after LAGB, and a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy could be performed in the case of band failure. Successful band removal and sleeve gastrectomy wereperformed simultaneously without complications.
