Abstract

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a bariatric procedure that was introduced in the early 1990s and offers a minimally invasive and reversible option for weight loss. Initially popular due to its simplicity and effectiveness, LAGB's long-term success has been limited by complications such as port-site infection, pouch dilatation, and gastric band erosion. Herein, we describe a rare case of gastric band erosion found incidentally during endoscopy a decade after placement. The eroded band was successfully removed using a combined endoscopic and laparoscopic approach.

沉默的胃箍内窥镜检查中偶然发现的腹腔镜可调节胃束带腐蚀。

腹腔镜可调节胃束带术（LAGB）是 20 世纪 90 年代初推出的一种减肥手术，为减肥提供了一种微创、可逆的选择。LAGB 最初因其简单有效而广受欢迎，但其长期的成功却受到了并发症的限制，如端口感染、胃袋扩张和胃束带侵蚀。在此，我们描述了一例罕见的胃束带侵蚀病例，患者在放置胃束带十年后的内镜检查中意外发现了胃束带侵蚀。我们采用内窥镜和腹腔镜联合方法成功切除了被侵蚀的胃束带。
