A Rare Case of an Incidental Near-Complete Gastric Band Erosion Without Perforation

Laparoscopic gastric banding has been favored for the treatment of morbid obesity because it is minimally invasive, effective, and reversible. One of the complications is gastric band erosion which can cause abdominal pain, hematemesis, and hematochezia. Erosions can be partial and can lead to intra...

description Laparoscopic gastric banding has been favored for the treatment of morbid obesity because it is minimally invasive, effective, and reversible. One of the complications is gastric band erosion which can cause abdominal pain, hematemesis, and hematochezia. Erosions can be partial and can lead to intra-abdominal free air, peritonitis, and sepsis. Endoscopic removal of the gastric band can be done safely and effectively using a wire and a mechanical lithotripter. We describe a patient with a rare case of an incidental near-complete gastric band erosion without perforation and subsequent endoscopic removal.
