Abstract

Adjustable Gastric Banding (AGB) is the most popular bariatric procedure in Europe.

For this reason we developed a new adjustable gastric band called Basket Band (BB). The band is a regular one with a soft silicone mesh above it, thought to envelope the proximal gastric pouch to prevent it from enlargement.
