The laparoscopy is performed under general anesthesia with a 5 ports access under 14mm Hg pressure. After opening of the gastrocolic ligament and division of any adhesions between stomach and pancreas a circular opening is performed at the junction of corpus and antrum of the stomach with a circular stapler. A tubular gastric pouch is then created along a calibration tube at the lesser curvature by a vertical stapling starting from the circular opening to the angle of Hiss.
