| Popis: | Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is an effective treatment for morbid obesity and has become the most widespread bariatric operation. Complications such as stomach slippage, band erosion or dislocation, pouch dilatation and port complications have been widely reported and discussed. We report two similar cases of women who had had recurrent diffuse abdominal pain and tearing pain at the port site. X-ray examinations showed the small bowel wrapped around the silicone tube, pulling it to the right lower quadrant. Laparoscopic relief and repositioning were performed in both patients. |
