Abstract
|
|
|
|
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has proved to be safe and effective, worldwide. The perigastric technique was once the most frequent method of band placement, but posterior prolapse was a problem. The introduction of the pars flaccida technique has considerably reduced the incidence of this complication, and, currently, this technique is the most utilized method and recommended by most bariatric surgeons. However, LAGB with pars flaccida technique has rare complications such as band slippage and gastric pouch dilatation in 2∼5% of patients. We have experienced 2 band replacement cases for band slippage and pouch dilatation each happening about 1 and 2 years after LAGB.
