“…[59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] The complication rates in more recent studies are generally lower than in older studies. This may be attributable to improved surgical techniques and the development of newer band designs.…”

“…This occurs in about 4% (1.0%-6.5%) of patients in recent studies, with older studies showing a much higher rate of this complication. 64,65,[71][72][73] The reason for this dramatic reduction in slippage rate is attributed to the use of the pars flaccida technique instead of the less frequently used perigastric approach for the insertion of the gastric band around the proximal stomach. Several studies have demonstrated a reduction in the number of slips from as high as 15% down to 2% simply by this change of technique.…”

“…The incidence ranges from 1% to 3% depending on the series. The occurrence of erosions seems to have decreased in more recent times with the advent of newer band designs that have a high-volume, [63][64][65]69,71 low-pressure system, and improved surgical techniques. 61,69 Band erosion may occur as a result of a tight fundoplication, particularly if the buckle of the band is covered.…”

“…Other factors that may play a role in band erosions include serosal injury during insertion, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, increased pressure within the band, and excessive vomiting. 71,79,80 Any patient who presents with a late port site wound infection should be investigated with an upper endoscopy to rule out intragastric band migration, as this is a well-described presentation for this complication. Other symptoms may include sudden weight regain, abdominal pain, bleeding, or peritonitis.…”

Adjustable gastric banding (AGB) is quickly becoming the most popular bariatric operation performed in the United States and Canada. Patients are particularly fond of the simplicity of the tool, the relatively low morbidity of the surgery, the quick recovery, and overall results. The gastric band has evolved over its 35-year history into a very successful adjustable tool used to restrict food consumption and limit caloric intake. The percent of excessive weight loss after banding can range from 30%-60% and depends on the time out from surgery. Along with weight loss, there is good resolution of the co-morbid conditions that are associated with excess weight and improvements in quality of life demonstrated after banding. Nutrition and follow up are extremely important after banding to ensure good compliance and adequate weight loss. Failure to follow the postoperative diet, exercise regiment, or mechanical failure of the band can lead to failure to lose adequate weight. While there are particular early and late complications associated with this surgery, the safety profile of the AGB is very appealing when compared to other bariatric operations. As we continue to reduce the morbidity of the procedure, the simple adjustable band concept has a lot of potential to remain a primary technique of maintaining long term weight loss. In conclusion, AGB has and continues to play an important role in the treatment of morbid obesity. It offers reasonably good weight loss results with very little morbidity, and the future of the adjustable band is bright.

“…According to the European department of WHO as much as 8% of the healthcare budget is being consumed by the costs of treating obesity complications [6], which are: type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, osteoarthritis, hormonal disturbances, infertility, sleep apnea, ventilation disturbances, urine incontinence, cancers (breast, endometrium, ovary, colon) [7] and others. Obesity leads to shortening of life expectancy by 5-20 years in comparison to the population of people with correct weight [3].…”

Complex conservative treatment is appropriate management of it. Lack of a permanent outcome and the yo-yo phenomenon make bariatric surgery the only chance for morbid obesity patients. At present, surgeons have a large range of procedures for obesity treatment. The decision which type of bariatric surgery to choose depends on the patient's condition, feeding habits, body mass and the surgeon's experience. Vertical banded gastroplasty is one of the most often used minimally invasive approaches. But no invasive treatment is free from complications. Intragastric band migration is a late mechanical complication of gastric banding. The paper describes a case of a 30-year-old woman with intragastric band migration, 4 years after vertical banded gastroplasty. Diagnosis was made with gastroscopy. To diagnose complications the endoscopist should be familiar with surgical procedures for obesity treatment. StreszczenieOtyłość to epidemia XXI wieku. Podstawą jej terapii jest kompleksowe leczenie zachowawcze. Brak zadowalających wyników oraz efekt jo-jo powodują, że jedynym wyjściem dla chorobliwie otyłych pacjentów okazuje się postępowanie inwazyjne. Obecnie w chirurgii stosuje się wiele metod leczenia otyłości. Wybór rodzaju zabiegu zależy od doświadczenia chirurga, stanu ogólnego pacjenta, jego nawyków żywienio-wych oraz największej masy ciała. Pionowa plastyka żołądka jest obecnie jednym z częściej wykonywanych zabiegów bariatrycznych i stosunkowo mało inwazyjnym. Każde postę-powanie chirurgiczne obciążone jest ryzykiem wystąpienia powikłań. Jednym z późnych powikłań operacyjnego leczenia otyłości z zastosowaniem opaski jest jej przemieszczenie. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono przypadek wewnątrzżołąd-kowej migracji opaski u 30-letniej kobiety 4 lata po pionowej plastyce żołądka. Rozpoznanie ustalono na podstawie panendoskopii. Jedynie znajomość technik operacyjnych i potencjalnych powikłań chirurgii bariatrycznej umożliwia endoskopiście postawienie właściwej diagnozy.
