What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather data on the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding in adolescents aged 14-20 who are candidates for bariatric surgery. It focuses on monitoring weight loss outcomes and the incidence of obesity-related comorbidities, as well as any medical, psychological, and surgical complications that may arise from the procedure. The study builds on previous recommendations from health authorities and seeks to enhance the management of adolescent patients undergoing this treatment. Conducted at the Angers University Hospital, it leverages their expertise in adolescent bariatric surgery.
