LATE COMPLICATIONS OF LAPROSCOPIC ADJUTABLE GASTRIC BANDING (LAGB): SAUDI ARABIA EXPERIENCE
 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : Post-operative Complications of Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) are not un-common as reviewed from the literatures. The intra-operative complications such as bleeding, injury to the abdominal organs or perforation of the stomach during dissection are usually discovered during the follow up visits, and need to be corrected soon e.g., food intolerance, pouch dilatation and stomach slippage as well as complications of the access port etc. I started using the lap-band in October 1995 and performed 150 cases up to October 1997. Five cases were done using the open method, while 145 cases were performed laparoscopically. Only one case of mortality has occurred (0.6%), while 14 cases of gastric (stomach) slippage (9.6%), and one case of access port rotation (0.6%) were recorded. No other complications were encountered in my series. The above three complications occurred exclusively in the laparoscopic group. The gastric slippage was re-adjusted through a small skin incision under local anaesthesia
