Summit, New Jersey \u2014<\/strong> Ajay Goyal, MD, FACS, and Glenn Forrester, MD, FACS, bariatric and general surgeons from the New Jersey Bariatric Center<\/strong>\u00ae<\/sup> in Springfield, New Jersey, successfully performed the first single incision LAP-BAND\u00ae and REALIZE\u00ae Band surgeries in New Jersey. Single incision surgery results in less pain, less scar tissue and faster recovery to normal activity.<\/p>\n

The surgeons performed the LAP-BAND\u00ae procedure on a 34-year-old woman and the REALIZE\u00ae Band procedure on a 39 year-old woman at Overlook Hospital in Summit, New Jersey. Both patients had a single incision around the belly button resulting in minimal discomfort and a barely visible scar compared to traditional laparoscopic gastric band surgery requiring four to five incisions. The incision was then closed with surgical glue, leaving no other scars from instruments or sutures in the abdomen.<\/p>\n

\"By reducing the operative site to one incision we\u2019re able to provide our patients with both a reduced pain and recover time as well as an improved cosmetic result,\u201d said Dr. Ajay Goyal, founder of New Jersey Bariatric Center<\/strong>\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
