Several options exist for minimal access bariatric surgery for morbid obesity. This chapter explores the specific choice between two procedures—the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, and the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Details on both procedures and on laparoscopy in the morbidly obese are given in the SAGES manuals.
