| Abstract |
Gastric banding as a laparoscopic procedure was performed on 40 morbidly obese patients. This operation matches the advantages of the gastric banding (efficacy, reversibility and low invasivity) with the advantages of the laparoscopic procedure (low surgical risk, short hospital stay and less complications in the short and long term). The maximum follow-up is 6 months and so far the weight loss results are the same as we obtained by the vertical banded gastroplasty of Mason. The greatest problem of laparoscopic gastric banding is to get the right tightness of the band for a stoma of 12-13 mm. In three patients the band was replaced due to stenosis, in two of them by a laparoscopic procedure. The adjustable band of Kuzmak should exclude the risk of stenosis and its use will be tried by the laparoscopic procedure. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 August 2010.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#1,286
of 3,713 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,796
of 19,222 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,713 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 19,222 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
