Managing the Complication of Band Erosion in Banded Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Case Report

Mohamed Hany et al. Obes Surg. 2024 Mar.

Abstract

We present a case involving a patient with laparoscopic banded sleeve gastrectomy (BSG) with a 3-month history of persistent vomiting, decreased tolerance for fluids, and limited intake of soft food items. Upon investigation, an eroded band and gastric dilatation were identified. The treatment involved the removal of the eroded band and a segment of the stomach, followed by the restoration of gastric continuity through a gastrogastrostomy.

Keywords: Banded procedure; Erosion; Gastrogastrostomy; Revision surgery; Sleeve gastrectomy.
