The study aims to investigate the long term results of a randomized clinical single-centre trial comparing two standard operative techniques in bariatric surgery; laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and vertical banded gastroplasty.

Detailed description

One hundred morbidly obese patients were included in the study. Randomization between the two operative techniques was performed using a computer model. Fifty patients were included in both groups.
