title: [Gastric surgery in morbid obesity. Apropos of 101 cases].
abstract: The authors analyze the complications and the results of gastric surgery for morbid obesity, on the basis of their personal experience. After abandoning up jejunoileal by-pass because of its severe complications, they started to perform gastric by-pass and vertical banded gastroplasty according to Mason. The number of severe complications was low and the results on the weight loss were good, without any disturbance of metabolic and nutritional tests. Gastric by-passes and gastroplasties had similar results. The authors suggest that gastroplasty could be the technique of choice as it is a simple and quick operation, without anastomosis, which ensures a better respect of gastroduodenal physiology and the possibility of exploration of the distal gastric pouch.
