We report our experience with gastric partitioning in 63 Chinese patients (17 men and 46 women) aged 14 to 42 years, whose preoperative excess weights ranged from 62.3% to 166.7% above their ideal body weight. Transverse stapling was performed in 30 patients treated before April 1983, while vertical stapling gastric partitioning with a window and a Marlex band to encircle the outlet tract was done in 33 patients after that. No patient died, but one had leakage at the anastomosis. Success was defined as a return to within 50% of the ideal body weight. Vertical-windowed gastric partitioning with a Marlex- banded outlet resulted in a significantly higher success rate than transverse stapling - 70% vs 37%. Our experience suggests that vertical-windowed gastric partitioning with a Marlex-banded outlet is a safe and effective surgical treatment for morbidly obese Chinese people. |
