Résumé

Obesity is a rapidly spreading chronic disease worldwide. Long-term results are critical to assess the effectiveness of a bariatric procedure, particularly in young patients who have long life expectancy. A retrospective study on adolescents with morbid obesity who underwent Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) at our institute from 1995 to 2018 was made. Primary endpoints were efficacy, in term of weight loss and comorbidity resolution, occurrence of complications and reoperations. Fifty-nine patients underwent LAGB between 1995 and 2018. Intra- and post-operative mortality was absent. The patients' presence at follow-up at 5, 10 and 15 years was 38/50 (76%), 18/25 (72%) and 5/8 (63%), respectively. At those times the mean excess weight loss percentage was 61.7 ± 29.4, 48.1 ± 50.4 and 55.8 ± 51.2, respectively. Comorbidity resolution rates were 100% for patients with diabetes, 78% for patients with hypertension, 75% for joint pain suffers, 69% for patients with sleep apnea and 57% for patients with anxiety and depression. Total reoperation rate was 30.5%. The band was removed in 8 patients: 3 due to erosions, 3 by patients' choice and 2 conversions to other bariatric procedures. LAGB, in combination with the patients' close follow-up performed by an interdisciplinary team, can be an effective long-term surgical treatment for teenagers with morbid obesity. Level IV.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Obesity is a rapidly spreading chronic disease worldwide. Long-term results are critical to assess the effectiveness of a bariatric procedure, particularly in young patients who have long life expectancy.
METHODS METHODS
A retrospective study on adolescents with morbid obesity who underwent Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) at our institute from 1995 to 2018 was made. Primary endpoints were efficacy, in term of weight loss and comorbidity resolution, occurrence of complications and reoperations.
RESULTS RESULTS
Fifty-nine patients underwent LAGB between 1995 and 2018. Intra- and post-operative mortality was absent. The patients' presence at follow-up at 5, 10 and 15 years was 38/50 (76%), 18/25 (72%) and 5/8 (63%), respectively. At those times the mean excess weight loss percentage was 61.7 ± 29.4, 48.1 ± 50.4 and 55.8 ± 51.2, respectively. Comorbidity resolution rates were 100% for patients with diabetes, 78% for patients with hypertension, 75% for joint pain suffers, 69% for patients with sleep apnea and 57% for patients with anxiety and depression. Total reoperation rate was 30.5%. The band was removed in 8 patients: 3 due to erosions, 3 by patients' choice and 2 conversions to other bariatric procedures.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
LAGB, in combination with the patients' close follow-up performed by an interdisciplinary team, can be an effective long-term surgical treatment for teenagers with morbid obesity.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE METHODS
Level IV.
