| Popis: | A wide range of operations are used today for morbid obesity. Adjustable gastric banding (AGB) is one of the most widespread. Numerous complications after AGB are known, namely gastric perforation, band slippage, penetration of the band into stomach, port disconnection, port-site infection, etc. The authors present a case of small bowel obstruction caused by the intra-abdominal silicone tube of the gastric band in a woman with AGB performed 9 years before, with a very good result and considerable weight loss. She was operated as an emergency, and part of the terminal ileum was found incarcerated around and between the silicone tube and the anterior abdominal wall. Bowel resection for intestinal necrosis, with terminal ileostomy, was performed, followed 1 month later by an end-to-end ileo-ileal anastomosis. The patient recovered without sequelae. |
