Background Esophageal function appears critical in laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) patients; however, conventional motility assessments have not proven to be clinically useful. Recent combined video fluoroscopic and high-resolution manometric studies have identified important components of esophageal function in LAGB patients. Methods Successful and symptomatic LAGB patients, with normal...
Background The components of esophageal function important to success with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) are not well understood. A pattern of delayed, however, successful bolus transit across the LAGB is observed. Methods Successful LAGB patients underwent a high-resolution video manometry study in which bolus clearance, flow, and intraluminal pressures were recorded. Liquid and...
