ABSTRACT:
A securing or holding element is incorporated into a gastric band to prevent slippage or migration of the gastric band after installation thereof around the stomach to restrict the size of a stoma opening. The securing element includes laterally extending, perforate end portions which are adapted to be secured by suturing to stomach tissue adjacent to the gastric band. The end portions of the securing element can be folded over onto the gastric band to reduce the cross sectional profile presented, and thus facilate introduction into the patient of the gastric band and securing element through a laparoscopic cannula during a laparoscopic procedure employing the band.
