摘要

Background

We aimed to evaluate our learning curve comparing surgical time of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) banding with multiport laparoscopy.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data comparing our first 48 LESS bands with our first 50 multiport laparoscopic bands at our institution. We then compared the first 24 LESS bands with the last 24 bands.

Results

The average body mass index for the LESS group was significantly lower than for the laparoscopic group (43.19 vs 48.3; <em>Pem> < .0001). The surgical time was much faster toward the second half of our experience performing the LESS procedure (85.34 vs 68.8; <em>Pem> = .0055). LESS banding took significantly longer than our early traditional laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (76.85 vs 64.4; <em>Pem> = .0015).

Conclusions

We conclude that in experienced hands, single-incision banding is feasible and safe to perform. Long-term data are needed to prove that LESS banding is as good a surgery as traditional laparoscopic surgery.
