Abstrakt: Intraluminal erosion of adjustable and non adjustable gastric bands generally occurs years after placement. Different endoscopic techniques have been described for the management of bands that erode the gastric wall, using endoscopic scissors, rigid endoscopic guides wire coupled to a mechanical lithotripter or even less frequently used devices such as the Gastric Band Cutter System to cut it. We present a clinical case in which we used a lithotripsy laser probe to break the band with great effectiveness without complications.
