Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the surgical time of laparoscopic endoscopic single-site (LESS) banding compared to multiport laparoscopic banding in an attempt to evaluate our learning curve. Retrospective comparison of the first 48 LESS bands and the first 50 multiported laparoscopic bands at our institution was conducted. After that, the 24 top bands were compared with the 24 bottom bands. There was a significant difference between the LESS and the laparoscopic groups in body mass index (43.19 vs 48.3; P>0.0001). After performing the LESS procedure for a year and a half, the surgery time decreased significantly (85.34 versus 68.8; P>0.0055). Our early laparoscopic adjustable banding took significantly longer than our LESS process (76.85 vs 64.4; P >0.0015). A single-incision banding procedure can be safely performed in experienced hands. Until LESS banding is proven to be as effective as traditional laparoscopy, long-term data are needed
