Abstract
Adjustable gastric banding is a restrictive bariatric procedure during which a fluid-filled silicone band is wrapped around the gastric cardia. The volume of fluid within the band may be adjusted through percutaneous access to a subcutaneous port that is connected to the band by flexible tubing and attached to the anterior abdominal fascia. Increasing band fluid volume results in greater extrinsic compression and more limited flow of luminal contents through the gastric cardia. This chapter describes the indications, technique, and complications associated with this procedure.
