Abstract | Background: Gastric band slippage is a significant challenge in gastric band surgery and can result in poor weight loss, pain and dysphagia, often requiring re-operation. The Royal Berkshire Hospital is one of 49 UK centres performing bariatric surgery. We audited our band slippage rates. Methods: All patients undergoing gastric banding from February 2007 to December 2013 were included (follow-up until December 2014). Slip rate was calculated and compared to an audit standard (3.9 %). The impact of two interventions altering the method of band filling and post-operative dietary advice was studied. Results: Initial slippage rates were high (17 %). Rates decreased following the interventions: 8.5 % by July 2012 (p = 0.05); 2.7 % by December 2014 (p = 0.2). Conclusions: Two simple, low-risk interventions have reduced complication rates in a high-risk population. |
