title: [Efficacy analysis of laparoscopic adjustable gastric placation for obesity].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic adjustable gastric placation (LAGBP), a new procedure for surgical treatment of obesity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical and 1-year follow-up data of 10 patients who underwent LAGBP in our department between September and November 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean operative time was (93.0±13.4) min, while the mean intraoperative blood loss was (15.5±4.7) ml. The mean excessive body weight loss rate(%EWL) at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the operation was 25.1%, 40.6%, 45.3% and 50.8% respectively. There were no severe post operative complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LAGBP is associated with high safety and good short-term efficacy.
