Sprayshield as Adhesion Barrier System for Obese Patients
Sprayshield as Adhesion Barrier System for Obese Patients
The application of SprayShield during a laparoscopic band removal (first surgical step) will
 be evaluated to see if the postoperative adhesions between the stomach, the left liver and
 the diaphragm are not severe, facilitating the surgical surgical step of a gastric bypass or
 a sleeve gastrectomy.
Monocenter and observational study on 20 obese patients, requiring removal of the gastric
 band for poor results (weight regain or insufficient weight-loss) or mechanical complications
 of the band ( slippage, esophageal dilation) and schedule for a second step surgery of
 gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy 2 months later.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Obese male or female who would benefit from a gastric band removal and for whom a
 second surgical step with conversion to sleeve gastrectomy or bypass is scheduled

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  The patients having an ablation of ring motivated for an infectious complication
