Abstract
Background
: Devices such as silicone rings and silastic bands are recent advances in bariatric surgery as adjuncts to laparoscopic gastric sleeve and Roux-en-Y bypass in order to assist weight loss and reduce rates of dumping syndrome.
Case Report
: We describe a rare complication of full thickness erosion and bleeding in a 43-year-old patient, three years post MiniMizer band insertion who required laparoscopic and endoscopic assisted removal of this band.
Conclusion
: The band was not visualised laparoscopically and we did not have specialist equipment for endoscopic removal and hence present a novel method for endoscopic guided gastrotomy and removal.
Keywords :
Bariatric Surgery, Dumping Syndrome, Laparoscopic Surgery, Roux-en-Y Anastomosis, Weight Loss.
