A technique for prevention of port complications after laparoscopic adjustable silicone gastric banding.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is a controversy about the best way to report results after bariatric surgery. Several indices have been proposed over the years such as percentage of total weight loss (%TWL), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), and percentage of excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL). More recently, it has been su...
