Gastric bezoar complicating laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with band slippage.

Author: Parameswaran R, Ferrando J, Sigurdsson A

Author affiliation: Department of Surgery, The Hospital Group, Droitwich Spa Hospitals, UK.

Publication date & source: 2006.12, Obes Surg., 16(12):1683-4.

Publication type: Case Reports

Gastric bezoars may develop in the proximal pouch after gastric restriction, eg. by laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). To date, only two centers have reported this rare complication. We report an additional case with band slippage, to emphasize that bezoars should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with new onset nausea and vomiting after LAGB.
