Abstract
In this technical note, a novel rating scale (abdominal integral index) was introduced for assessing the conditions of the working laparoscopic space based on linear measurements to select the optimal one or two-stage surgical treatment for super-obesity. Patients with the same height and similar BMI values had different rating scale scores, reflecting different conditions of laparoscopic bariatric surgery. The rating scale helps surgeons and patients make a safe option for surgery, depending on the experience of the surgeon and technical laparoscopic conditions.
期刊介绍:
Laparoscopic, Endoscopic and Robotic Surgery aims to provide an academic exchange platform for minimally invasive surgery at an international level. We seek out and publish the excellent original articles, reviews and editorials as well as exciting new techniques to promote the academic development.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
▪ Minimally invasive clinical research mainly in General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Colorectal Surgery, Otolaryngology, etc.;
▪ Basic research in minimally invasive surgery;
▪ Research of techniques and equipments in minimally invasive surgery, and application of laparoscopy, endoscopy, robot and medical imaging;
▪ Development of medical education in minimally invasive surgery.
