title: [Gastroplasty calibrated by a silastic ring. A new technique of vertical gastroplasty in obesity].
abstract: Among the various procedures used for surgical treatment of morbid obesity, the vertical silastic ring calibrated technique is in full development. Using a linear suture stapler with 4 rows of staples makes it possible to create a gastric partition without excision of a gastric outlet. The channel is calibrated by means of a 4.5 cm long silastic ring. In a small series of 20 cases, the loss of excess weight over one year was 47 +/- 12 percent at 6 months and 59 +/- 21 percent at 12 months without mortality or morbidity.
