Summary: | Intragastric band migration (IGBM) is one of the major complications
of gastric banding. In this report, we aimed to present a case of
IGBM, which was diagnosed intraoperatively, and to review the
relevant literature. A 59-year-old male patient was admitted to our
outpatient clinic due to epigastric pain persisting for the past three
months. The patient had a history of gastric banding surgery owing
to obesity with open surgery nine years ago. Postoperative follow-up
was not done properly and the patient had started to gain weight in
the third postoperative year. Incisional hernia was found in physical
examination and operation for gastric band removal and hernia repair
was planned. During surgery, the band could not be found around
the stomach, therefore, gastroscopy was performed and it was found
that the majority of the band was placed in the stomach. The patient
was intraoperatively diagnosed with IGBM and the band was removed
through gastrotomy, and hernia repair was performed. The patient
was discharged at postoperative 6th day without any complication.
Although IGBM is rarely seen, it should be considered as a long-term
complication in cases with dysfunctional gastric band and in patients
who started to gain weight after operation. Treatment is the removal
of the band review. |
