title: [Gastric pacing. A new method in obesity surgery].
abstract: Obesity is a severe health problem in Europe and in the USA. There are many different methods to reduce patients' weight. We report a new method: gastric pacing. Gastric pacing is intended to induce early satiety through electrical stimulation of the gastric wall. We report the operative technique and the complications.
