| Abstract: | Open banded gastric bypass has been the choice of some bariatric surgeons. This procedure includes a band (of various materials) around the gastric pouch. While there are advantages to this band, erosion and/or displacement of the band may occur. We describe a case of a symptomatic displaced band which was treated by laparoscopic removal. Laparoscopic removal of the band after open banded gastric bypass is feasible. Revision of previous bariatric surgery may be performed laparoscopically if the technical expertise is available. |
