| Popis: | The appearance of fistulas and the posterior intragastric inclusion of the adjustable silicone Lap-Band prothesis have been described, representing a severe complication of the Lap-Band procedure. A 45-year-old patient with severe obesity, weighing 115 kg, and having BMI (body max index) of 45 kg/m2 was assigned to a protocol to place a Lab-Band in her. An infection in the reservoir after 9 months indicated the beginning of the appearance of fistulas. The entire adjustable silicone gastric band device eroded inside the stomach between months 9 and 14 after its placement, resulting in reoperation. The gastric inclusion of the Lap-Band device represents a severe complication that requires reoperation, and raises concerns about the safety of this new alternative weight reduction operation. |
